    You people realize a supermajority of Americans own their own home, right?

    And that the very premise of the meme is that the single mother could afford to place a bid that was beaten by an investment firm and not another individual?

    You’d be shocked what you can afford outside of a major city, which is one of the reasons why WFH is what everyone should be fighting for for any industry that can feasibly do it.

      There are 161 million homes privately owned by their occupants in the US, if so may I see a citation of that?

        You just cited the numbers yourself, my guy.

        Most home owners/people that live in their own home are families but not all, and the idea of the wife keeping the house (and the equity that would let them bid on another if they need to move) is practically a meme itself.
