    It’s difficult to be sympathetic because you are viewing the property as an asset financially. And not as a place to live, he likely does not give a shit that it’s appreciated in value because he has absolutely no intention whatsoever of selling and he plans to live there till he dies and that’s how housing should be viewed

      Thank you. Not everything in life is an asset to be leveraged to prop up your own position above those around you.

      This psychotic way of thinking has led us to this sorry state. And I don’t just mean the USA.

      I agree with your sentement but sometimes places become gentrified and the original inhabitants can no longer afford to live there.

      I’m not saying that it’s good or the way things should be but it is a reality.
