It’s the biggest thing you might ever buy. And it could be turning you into a bad person.

Yeah yeah fuck vox etc, but this article really steamed my clams. I live in a place where owning a home or living in a not-shit apartment felt feasible a few years ago. Now it feels impossible.

Obviously, there's more than just homeowner mentality to blame here, but thought this was a decent summation for a dum dum like myself
