How many homeless people in the USA do you think can work but refuse to? Hint: a lot of them.

it is a job not an investment

where did I say that

Something can be both an investment and a job. If you found a startup, for instance. I just don't get the meaningless arguments about how maintaining a property isn't a job. If it requires you to work, then it's a job.

Why are we gatekeeping the word job? all a job is "a task or piece of work, especially one that is paid" that seems to fit the definition of a homeowner renting out their property.

so there wasn't an argument, just being pedantic

It is absolutely a job if you personally handle upkeep. Managing something is still a job. Although if you outsource every aspect of it I would consider it more an investment.

You can retire off a million dollars easily. Just not in the most notoriously expensive places in the USA. What exactly is your argument?

My point is that you said the argument has been disproven when I believe it has yet to be fully understood.

there are self made millionaires, they’re just considered lower middle class these days

this was the original statement being discussed

I believe we are talking about retirement, not supporting a family.

and how is that relevant? can homelessness be a problem and the economy be good at the same time?

there is little incentive for left wing rags to report on these topics
