@brianmatthews4149 Not a question that needs asking. What an individual chooses to do in response to not being able to afford something, is unknowable. It's entirely personal. Every person will have their own solution. As long as they're not on the street, the world is their oyster.

@101519e What more CAN they do?

@JKDVIPER Once again, each individual will have their own solution. Do you think it's reasonable or humane to dictate what they do or where they go? It's far more humane to allow people to solve things as they see fit. Wanting to dictate how they do it, is terrible. If I can't afford to buy meat (for example), do you think it's reasonable to demand that some arbitrary solution is forced on me? Like forcing me to eat insects or something? What if I prefer to become vegetarian, or hunt, or save my money to buy a chicken once a month?

Agree only with non-citizens being barred from property ownership. Everything else is just symptoms of first world hubris. In a socially healthy society (where people don't allow themselves to become unlovable), there'd be no need for "retirement villages". Extended families would be the norm. Also, if you deliberately buy into a HOA, you can't complain about the tyrannical nature of such a concept. You can't have it both ways. Either you want tyranny in your neighborhood, or you want the freedom to give out free water.

Your "property tax" is an abomination. Obviously designed to get the working and middle classes out of property. So glad we don't have to pay it in my country.

 @georgeklimes7604 FFS ... the rest of the world does it with just the listing agent. Grow up.

@dennistyler9852 Sure, but we're talking about the land .. not the building. Of course the buildings are cheap .. that's not in dispute. This is about the land the building sits on. You MUST own the land, if you're serious about living inexpensively. As long as you pay rent for someone else's land, you've gained nothing by owning the building. You don't become a home owner, and you certainly don't cut costs. Further, you're still at the mercy of a landlord, just like every other renter.

When will people realise that insurance is a scam? Buy a place where all the value is in the land (not the house), and you'll never need to buy insurance. I've followed that rule, and saved up to $10k a year.
