    Are hotels parasites too? When you lease a car, are the dealers parasites? How about short term rentals for traveling nurses. Are those parasites too?

    If I own a house and have roommates, am I a parasite too?

    Grow up man. Renting a home has advantages that people like me pay for.

    The place I’m renting is in an amazing area that I would never be able to afford. My son goes to school in a nicer, safer area.

    I can move out whenever I want to without worrying about selling my place.

    When something breaks, 1 phone call and my issue is fixed.

    I pay less than a mortgage and the money I save, I get to diversity my retirement/investment. Instead of dumping my entire asset in a home.

      Oh, some disingenuous comparisons. Because a car is considered shelter, right? A hotel is long term residency, right?

      I am so glad life is easier for you by being pro leeching off of others. Just ecstatic.

      I did grow up. I used to believe that naive bullshit, and then it ruined the area I grew up in. So go fuck yourself.
