    Nobody actually addressed it, they just kept saying it’s bad without any argument. Why didn’t people buy homes in the 1960s?

      Why didn’t people buy homes in the 1960s?

      Your graph doesn’t actually show that, as that source doesn’t include the first year referenced on the x-axis. Even then, it actually shows an upwards trend into the 1970s, so I don’t even know what you’re talking about with this. How about this, why don’t you post a more recent chart from the same source shown in the bottom of the image?

      What a shock, but it seems to show homeownership is trending downwards at a faster rate than in any 4-year period in the last 44 years, which contradicts the bullshit you’re trying to peddle that things are better than they’ve ever been. If the current trend holds, homeownership will be at its lowest rate in over 60 years in just over another 4.5 years. The currently available options only let you go back as far as New Year’s Day, 1980.
