These are just a couple of the 47 fact check errors you make in your poorly assembled theory.

To some renters, renting is fine because they like living in that great urban paradise where the good stuff is happening. To others, it's a trap they can't get out of.

No idea what you're going to do for a job there, but you can almost certainly afford the monthlies.
