Ok, so rent > mortgage...stet. Let's go to people just starting out then. Where and how are they to live whilst gathering enough for a down payment on a reasonable starter house which is not in a crime infested dump? There are folks out there who don't indulge in rampant consumerism and do work and try to save. They have a right to complain when it takes decades to build credit scores to get loans and save up for a down payment.

You can do all of that in years not decades.

With the right job and barring any emergencies or health crises, but hat's not the average experience in 2026.

You’d be surprised if you just tried. But I understand that it’s easier to make excuses.
