I’m not telling them to buy a house. We were trying to point out that landlords are leeches who provide nothing of value and suck up large percentages of peoples income.
The hypothetical here is if you weren’t paying your landlord, you would have more money, because you’re already paying them amd now you’re not.
I’ve heard the real estate situation in London is particularly awful, even compared with other major cities where its also bad for similar reasons.
