[–] Pika@rekabu.ru 11 points 7 months ago (2 children) Appreciate the nuance, though I think that "house as equity" thing should definitely be dismantled, at least over time. House is a place to live, period. The rest is a fucked predicament we found ourselves in thanks to big investors. But yes, first house should be made super accessible, and any subsequent ones could be sold for a major markup. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] chronicledmonocle@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago Yeah it's bullshit. Unfortunately, it's how people gain wealth in America. It's one of the many reasons redlining largely black districts, for example, is so fucked. It's kept black people in poverty and is one of the main reasons why there is such a wealth disparity by race. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Gates9@sh.itjust.works 1 point 7 months ago permalink fedilink source parent
