    You’re thinking of bigotry. White people don’t experience systematically unfavorable outcomes from the perception of their skin color.

    The difference between the right word and the almost-right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug.


















  • 60-65% of households in the USA are homeowners, either outright or through a mortgage. 80-90% of households in Eastern Europe are homeowners. It’s pretty clear that people who are perennial renters are mostly people who cannot clear the financial hurdle of a down payment. I don’t think the “some people don’t want to” line is a solid argument. It’s the exception thata proves the rule.

    The repairs and property taxes and mortgage all add up to a total that is less than the rent, on average. Otherwise, landlords would have a disincentive, and every landlord would be operating at a loss.

    The points you made are points that landlords use as justification for their occupation/position. Are you a landlord?
