in most rural areas probably yes, agreed. would probably be better (but also more complicated) legislation if the threshold was in relation to the rent index, but again, given the unique situation, and the fact that it's (as far as i understand) just a temporary measure until the end of the year, i'm fine with erring on the side of caution.


Yes it's not easy to be able to do a clean cut number due to areas certain areas but if I recall the average apartment rent in the USA is something like 1,500. Ofcourse there's one beddrom two, three etc, but it looks like no consideration was given to that in the plan and thus I'm not going to consider it when just looking at an average.

To me the income and average rent are not praportionate and they have as you phrased erred in the side of caution a bit to far.

This all being said it could be that high earners are less likley to take advantage leaving little issues and the more I think about it a couple jointly earning 198k are probably not going to risk anything, but who knows I judge people wrong all the time.

If you want a good idea who most white people are is go to some of the older cities that have been around. NYC, Boston, Buffalo, Philly, etc

A lot of these cities have a Italian, Polish, German, Irish, etc neighborhoods that have been there for in some cases a century. I'v never been to a city where there was an English neighborhood, it's usually a mix of the groups i'v mentioned. That's who most white people are in the US.


Those aren't white people. My ancestors got here in the 1600s and would be more than willing to confirm this for you.

America is the land of dreams but people forget that failure is part of that.


I'm sorry, but in what definition of "dreams" is failure a necessary component?

The real truth of the matter is that the "American Dream" is named as such because you have to be asleep to believe in it.
Any country that refuses to protect its people during a pandemic is a pathetic excuse for a civilized country.

I learned something interesting. Most white families can trace their familial wealth back to being given land for free in the 1800's, and frequently minorities were excluded from these programs.

Who knew that which races had access to homesteads would be such an important factor in race relations today.

I wish my high school history teachers had framed things this way when teaching, instead of just mentioning homesteads and going on to the next fact. It would have made me value history a lot earlier and given context to why things are the way they are today.


History is an art and a lot of history teachers are shitty artist.

What's your proposed system? No private ownership? Gov't housing is major where I'm from and it's over 70% of housing. It's trashed.

literally housing is one of the most corrupt things in this country, rich people buying up property and overpricing rent and hiking it up sky high year after year while they do nothing but sit on wealth while poor people cannot afford housing and american government refuses to help low income families out which is one of the bigger reasons why we have a homeless problem in this country, so you can take your stupid ass question elsewhere

I believe in freedom and hate violence, so the obvious conclusion is property shouldnt exist since it is inherently violent

Give people a shovel, a solar panel, and a composting toilet and have them dig a home into the the side of a mountain. Raze all current infrastructure to the ground and let nature take her planet back. End capitalism altogether.

Well with your very bold statement I figured you would have some type of model in mind. Obviously not though.
