The first one was the best though, the third one felt like just waiting for the culprit to admit everything. The poking fun of conservatives and Christians is lovely but where're my logical deductionssssss

Do you support a wealth tax to reign in inequality, or are you fine with growing inequality as long as Americans have more purchasing power?

My whole point is that homeownership has not been constant over the last few decades, which I only needed data up to 2016 to demonstrate.
You barged in with a whole other point and posted data that conflicted with your claim.
I'm a density YIMBY making ipsative assessments, you're extrapolating.

You do realize that the broad trend in this graph you just posted is a decline, right? Like, do you need me to connect the dots in desmos and show you the slope is negative or something

I'm confused how these graphs support your point. But I don't really care, this convo has side tracked and I'm not interested in continuing it.

There's a clear trend, a decline in homeownership with younger generations. Both the graph I proffered and the original one substantiate this. I'm not arguing this anymore.

Then why did they call it a great recession in 2008 when there was only a 4.3% decrease in GDP? Someone should've just explained to them that 4.3 is a small number, so they should just suck it up buttercup

Yes there was a partial recovery. The point here is homeownership has not been constant over the last couple decades, and the data does tell a story.

You can and I just did. There was only a 4.3% drop in GDP over the 2008 recession, and yet the pain from that was widespread. This is a 9.1% relative drop in homeownership over a span of a decade.

How does a Palestinian child get shot in the head? How does an unarmed black man get killed at a traffic stop? How does a woman wearing a short skirt get attacked at night?
I think we are more in agreement than I initially thought but the language matters

I'd rather have everyone living in densely populated, rent-controlled apartments with incentives for developers as well as a certain percentage of govt nonmarket housing.
But the decline in homeownership is a palpable thing for millennials like me that grew up in a house but will never buy one.

You don't get to exclude 20 years of data just because you feel like it though right?

It's a relative drop of ~9.1%, which is a plunge, especially for younger generations which have less and less of the pie at the same ages as their older generation counterparts.
I'm all for dense living and rent controlled apartments, but you are lying when you say homeownership has been constant.

You're putting the onus on individuals rather than banks selling corrupted subprime bundles to investors, but that's beside the point.
My graph is not a normative statement about what % homeownership there *should* be, it is just a refutation of 1 of 2 claims made in the prev post.

Language is a social construct that changes with the ebb and flow of time, and all people using words have influence on them. "Semitic", "western", "shade", "swastika", are a few other examples of words that have had their definitions changed by social forces. Definitions aren't immutable.

Yes, and I don't care what the scientific definition is. The true definition is based on vibes, and I'm telling you, though you already know, that the definition people actually think of when they use that word is that a crime was committed.

No one uses that definition. We call someone a pedophile if they act on their desire, not for thought crimes.
The part of it that's bad is the physical and mental coercion of vulnerable people, kids. If you have fantasies of coercing children into sex, that shouldn't be socially condoned.

Or something like 2^1024, 2^-1075, or 2^53+1-2^53 that a human would get correct but a machine using doubles would get wrong. The machine would only accept the other machine's wrong answer, and reject the human's correct one
