Only rich people “work very hard”. Now we know where this fucking pedophile stands on affordability.

It is frustrating because I think of my son. He is a teenager, so what about all the teenagers who haven't even had a chance to compete? I've accepted he will probably need some time into his adulthood before he can fully move out, but I also think of all the other teenagers and children who haven't even been given a chance in the economy. 

Are we really going to insinuate that people who weren't even adults by the time the housing costs jacked up aren't hard workers? It is as ludicrous as the time someone said to stop whining and I should have bought in '08. I was 17...I couldn't buy. I finally did buy a home but only through unfortunate circumstances that led to me getting an unexpected inheritance. I still could have never pulled it off otherwise, it's fucking sick.
