He's doing well, thanks for asking.
He's still a Member for the electorate of Cook in the federal parliament.

The NO vote won in every state, and nationally the majority of votes.
Even rusted-on Lefists voted NO, rejected Albo's "Voice".
Conservatives will rise again.

Zoning laws that favor luxury housing over modest bungalows

Who would want it any other way?

I too once met a girl in Central Park, but it is not much to remember. What I remember is the time John Wayne killed three men with a carbine as he was falling to the dusty street in Stagecoach, and the time the kitten found Orson Welles in the doorway in The Third Man.

Republicans as criminals to the last asshole are inherently soft on crime.

Just one of the many ways that Democrats always do a much better job than the corrupt evil violent alternative.

Rise again like the confederacy and the thousand year reich.

You fascists are all the same. It is why you need constant kicking and tearing down.

You are the bad weed from the bad seed, to be torn up and burnt lest you spread.

We see what you did there.  Try for thirty seconds to discuss a topic honestly. 

The term homeownership rate can be misleading. As defined by the US Census Bureau, it is the percentage of homes that are occupied by the owner. It is not the percentage of adults that own their own home. This latter percentage will be significantly lower the homeownership rate.

Many homes have adult family members who live there but do not themselves own a property.  Also, some owned homes are condos or co-ops, not houses.  The figure in my survey was for houses.  And tallies with other recent surveys.  The majority of adult Americans cannot at present afford to buy a house.

So, you are saying that the average family of five owns three homes?

Nope.  Two thirds of homes are owner-occupied.   Already explained why that is not the same thing.

Fight it out with your dysfunctional grasp of math.

And all a side issue to the question of why younger people cannot afford to buy a house.  Or in many cities, even a townhouse or condo.

Zoning laws and lack of incentives to build affordable starter homes are two causes.  AirBnB being allowed to muscle in to residential neighborhoods is another.   I mentioned others previously.

My son and I are strategizing ways for him to afford even rent where he presently lives, where they have doubled in the past four years.  He currently lives in an extended stay hotel, clean but very bare bones, as an affordable alternative while he searches.

BidenInflation and high interest rates are temporary disincentives.  Still generation Z is buying homes in larger numbers than Generation x

In fact home ownership has been right around 63-65% since the 60
