| You know. I have worked for almost two decades now, I can't afford to buy an apartment. People who have been useless their entire lives are getting government loans that they then pay off with welfare they get because they are doing nothing. I'm not the ownership class, this is unfair. You are the ownership class. People with money or who grew up with money are overwhelmingly left leaning. |

| You can't afford an apartment because the ownership class is working very hard to keep housing prices high while paying you as little as possible for the two decades you have been working. Not because some disabled person elsewhere is struggling to get by on government loans and welfare. |

| ▲ | flanked-evergl 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | The people keeping housing prices high are the leftist that push regulations that make it impossible to build while importing immigrants who disproportionately use welfare and get starter loans which they then use to push up housing prices without contributing anything to the economy. If this is the "ownership class" I guess stop voting for leftist. But nobody does, they just keep doing it, and housing becomes even more unaffordable. The right wing here are the only people where I live with an actual viable plan for helping working people, even low class working people. The left makes deliberate choices that everyone knows will make things worse for lower class working people. | | |

Generally, house pricing is primarily a supply problem. Removing immigrants will make this worse given that they are 30%+ of the construction workforce. | | |
| ▲ | flanked-evergl an hour ago | parent [-] | | 75% of welfare is going to immigrants, they get much easier access to government zero deposit loans even while not working, and then they pay off those loans with welfare. Sorry no fox news, just facts. Immigrants are also overwhelming much more of a burden to society and the state, they are over represented in crime sadistically and take much more from the state that they contribute. Suggesting that we would have no construction if we did not import criminal tax leeches seems like an evidence free statement. |
