Saying someone is whining is a childish response it is what kids use and show a lack of intelligence.There are plenty of examples of people getting wealth they do not deserve. Plenty of times CEO's have gotten bonuses they did not deserve. There are not a lot of good paying jobs left have you seen the unemployment rate and nto everyone has the ability to go to school.
You're entitled to your erroneous opinions. Now stop whining about me using the word whining.
You do not decide who deserves wealth. Only a 'child' thinks otherwise.
I see many good paying skilled jobs out there. Go learn something and become productive.

Government prevents the private sector (developers) from building homes that low-wage workers can afford to buy, thereby ensuring the ongoing existence of a large pool of renters, which in turn enables landlords to build wealth, while preventing said renters from building the wealth that home equity provides. Millions of landlords have built wealth on the basis of government policies.

Why then are there homes I am allowed by government to rent but not to buy?
There has always been rich and poor and everything in between. But it is in vogue these days to cry and gripe about the Jones' having more. We now have been invaded by the Whiny Generation.
The current financial situation has clearly gone over your head. On city-data, you'll have to use more than talking points if you want to earn some respect. There's a lot of intelligent informed posters.

Yes. In the 1980's you could buy a home on a working stiff's salary. You still can today. We had builders putting up low-cost homes in the Bolingbrook IL area non-stop in the early '80's.

Get off the forum kid. There is a big world out there. Life exists outside of your basement.
And like the coward you are, you failed to address my truth. So one more time simp.........

Do you seriously believe burger flippers can buy homes in the Bolingbrook area? Even in the 1980s?
You didn't answer my question why are there homes government allows people to rent but not buy.
Low-cost homes aren't affordable if the zoning requires large parcels of unaffordable land.
