Actually extremely surprised it's 66% in the US that sounds unreal. I know very few homeowners

Same, looking at my peers, none of them own the home, maybe 1/5 has a mortgage, and the rest either rent or live with parents.

Was about to say, 66 sounds unreal but then again would explain how insane the politics are

because a lot of them are owned by boomers, unless the age distribution of people you know are equal, the home owner percentage will not reflect the same.

Also it makes sense that a country with majority homeowners will oppose to any policies that can fix housing problems.

wildly skewed towards old people
