Because in some places renting is so much cheaper than buying it’s comical. Go look into rent vs prices of property and mortgages in London in the UK for example and then we can talk.
Renting can literally NEVER be cheaper than buying, because the landlord's mortgage MUST be less than the rent you're paying! If you'd had the option to buy the same place for what the landlord did, you'd be paying significantly less each month.
So what you mean is, landlords bought up all the cheap housing and all that's left to buy is what they can't bleed a profit out of.
I'm not telling them to buy a house. We were trying to point out that landlords are leeches who provide nothing of value and suck up large percentages of peoples income.
The hypothetical here is if you weren't paying your landlord, you would have more money, because you're already paying them amd now you're not.
I've heard the real estate situation in London is particularly awful, even compared with other major cities where its also bad for similar reasons.
You're the only one who has made assumptions about other people's living situations.
No one has commented on or judged your living situation. The only thing any of us have been commenting on is that landlords are leeches who do not provide anything of value. Their whole point of existence is to leech value from working people like you and myself.
Has it crossed your mind that various people have tried to tell you the same thing, and they all agree with each other, just might have a point youre not getting? As opposed to us all being "ignorant"?
I don't agree with that. Unless you want to give me money every time something happens to my home.
But you would save money if a landlord wasn't leeching it from you because of your basuc human need for shelter
No I would not.
How would you have less money than you do now, if we removed what you pay in rent as an expense?

Buy me a house then, if they're so much cheaper than renting.
I'll wait.

I've explained all of this already. Have a good one.
In fact, you never explained it. You've just repeatedly asserted it.
Sucks to find a hexbear that's not cool. Not everyone has your living situation. You should know that being from hex.
You have no idea what you're talking about
"no u".

Does insurance count?
