Why dump rental expenses down the drain, when the same money could be applied to a mortgage and home ownership? Why shouldn't ownership be available to the poor and overworked? We made the right choices as a nation, to make loans available to the poor, just at the wrong time, exactly when Cinderella's real estate was turning back to desert again. Real estate depends on capital, and that includes oil and oil-fueled transport.

Ralphy , who you clearly regard as astute, who abhors being labeled but the shoe fits & American Dream, who is up front about his politics directly contradicting his work as a player of the markets.

My argument is not based on Marxism but on logic and science. Put simply, more material resources and energy are needed to allow industrial civilization to grow, and one reason is that most people worldwide lack basic needs. Also, the number of people are growing, and environmental damage lessens access to various resources.
If you have evidence showing that these are not true, then let me know.
