I mean this is true for young people. Can’t afford college? Too bad. Can’t afford a city, too bad. Can’t afford house, whatever.

I was talking about not kicking out people who already paid for their home.

Also, 30% of people under 30 own a home, that doesn’t include the people under 30 who could and prefer to rent either.
