Your comment has contradictions. For example, if "most Americans already owns a house", how are they at the same not affected by home prices increasing?

Like a lot of financial analysis I read, you seem to look at only one side of the transaction. For every renter, there's a rentee. For every buyer, a seller. For every borrower, a lender. Those people are abundant as well, and the exact opposite comment could be written about them.

Yeah, I'm a bit baffled by statements like:

> Most people aren't renters

Source? Most of my friends (outside of the tech echo chambers) are worried they'll never become buyers because of student loans, decades of wage stagnation, skyrocketing rent, real estate, college tuition, etc..
