That's Chinese disinformation! And Lao disinformation! And Kazakh and Cuban and Vietnamese and... listen, Americans need to be fed a strict media diet or else they'll start having thoughts.
That many people owning houses in [insert superior Western country] could never work
I studied this recently, the UK appears to have a 60% ownership rate, untill you examine how they report it.
33% of people outright own a house in the UK, the other % are paying one off. No sane person would say they owned a house if they had only made 2 700 pound payments on a 250k property, but the UK does for stats.

Could our brains survive that kind of strenuous exercise?
Seriously, we must be the only people who can burn calories just reading a book.
mfw cuba is magnitudes poorer than its neighbour, the USA but can provide housing and healthcare for everyone in it, and even a surplus of 50k doctors they export to the third world on demand.
They also provide food for everyone. There are government "stores" where citizens receive their weekly allotment of eggs, produce, dairy, flour, and occasionally meat. Certain things can only be bought but there's a standard that everyone has access to something even when some foods can be scarce.
"But the houses there are much cheaper and lower quality"
meanwhile Usonia
cardboard houses in places with high frequency of tornadoes and other natural phenomenons.
Concrete and metal can not withstand the temperature fluctuations in the United States, that's why wood is used. If you take concrete from -10C to 40C, its going to crack and fail after a few years.
The problem is that the wood has gotten significantly more cheap over the years. But if you've seen actual wood houses, its absurd how they last centuries while concrete weathers and turns to dust, and metal corrodes.
Further, wood stands up just as well as brick and concrete do in the face of tornados and earthquakes... In that they don't. They all collapse. the foundations are made with brick or concrete but its cheaper to rebuild the top if its wood then another material. You're not saving your house if it gets hit with a tornado.
Also concrete requires steel supports in order to be load bearing, which is again very expensive. If you don't put structural steel in the concrete, then you've created a death trap.
That’ll be half a million dollars please
"Numbers that high are impossible, the country is lying".
Obviously the natural order of things is to have homeless on every street corner, it is impossible to exist otherwise!
But Laos Cuba Vietnam and China don't have freedom Democracy and most important of all bald eagles!
People seriously discount bald eagles... sure, having healthcare and housing is nice and all, but have you seen that fucking bald eagle!?
There's a lack of freedom for housing providers to exchange goods and services in the free marketplace of commodity consumption
US is one of the largest countries in the world and it can accomodate more housing than China could able to. Note : Russia still has 87 percent ownership rate 🤣
Damn Laos killing it!!!!
Smells like a lack of Freedom to me!
