How many single parents with four kids can afford a house?
All of them if it wasn't for greedy corporations.
Hey, 2$ is a bid.
All of them if you take it speculators
Quite a lot, considering child support is a thing.
Hahahaha
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.
How the fuck is asking for a citation answering a citation?
You, yourself, said there are 161 million privately owned homes in the US.
What is the current population of the US, and do you think there is a one person per home limit to residence?
Somebody hasn't played cities skylines 2. It's all single occupant housing.
Real actual answer: only one state has an average occupancy of 3 people to a house, Utah, and the rest don't crack that number. Our most recent census (that thing almost none of your friends replied to) shows more than 3 times the ACTUAL number of privately owned homes in 2021 (83 million), and you could've had these same statistics in front of you and verified in seconds if you actually gave a shit about information instead of just arguing like a parrot.

Ok buddy "parrot"
You are quite literally showing me a graph that proves my point, but I'm guessing you don't understand the info shown here. 70% peak homeownership is perfectly in line with what I just said, the simple conclusion was ~2/3 from that data.
Oh, you think the number I have to defend was the exact number as quoted by a different person instead of the percentage I referenced?
Interesting stance, Mr Brainiac. Probably works on Twitter.
This kind of posturing makes you sound extremely stupid.
I find that most people use insults that speak more to their own insecurities than the person they want to offend.
I asked if there were. Asked does not mean tell. Also you are not goal posting moving.
No, you said "There are 161 million privately owned homes in the US,"
You can tell that isn't a question because we have these things called question marks.
We really need to increase public school funding.
Not my fault you made a grammatical error.
Hahahahahaha
That is about 40% off gross. So unless dad is making 240k a year....
Or mom has a respectable income herself. Or they just aren't buying in California.
No one cares about your flyover state, it doesn't matter.
And you wonder why the rurals vote fash.
Name one!
