Almost every meaningful component of middle class life is becoming harder to obtain, if it is still in reach at all. Education is expensive. Healthcare is expensive. Cars are expensive. Wages have stagnated unless you’re in tech, finance, government, healthcare, or military.

Now we get to add home ownership on top of the pile- arguably the most iconic and important component of middle class way of life. If home ownership dies so does the middle class.

The day that happens and everyone realizes it is the day that a reckoning happens. So don’t be surprised in the next ten years if the public assassinations start returning or a rise of domestic terrorism or people start coming for rich people or shanty towns and crime begin to skyrocket or USA itself start collapsing under itself.
