Almost everything we do in society is based on what we do with one job. Govt programs, tax laws, business hours of operation....our entire society operates on the assumption that most people (about 95%) work one job 40 hours/week.
Telling someone they cannot afford a home unless they work a second job is unfair.
Even at the minimum wage level.....in theory, you should be able to afford a home with one job, right location, and the appropriate government assistance that's already available. Does it happen often? I honestly can't say but I'm sure it happens enough. Keeping in mind only a fraction of the population that makes minimum wage is even old enough to get a home loan to purchase one. (If they wanted to borrow)
If they want to own a better home or own a nicer home, or one in a better location, or own one faster... Sure they can make those "sacrifices" and "struggles" you're touting.
thinking like this is why this country has gotten so soft and is falling so far behind. seriously buddy, go back to the 40s and 50s and tell them your thoughts and see what they would think.
