    So you are against giving people help who probably need it the most based on some scenario you have completely made up. Nice. Thanks for clarifying.

      No, that’s not correct. I am against driving up housing prices that hurt people who need it the most.

      I am using a hypothetical scenario in a vein attempt to help you understand the problem.

        Giving people money just drives the prices up.

        You specifically said that in your first post on an article about housing assistance, and then tried to back up your assumption with a made up scenario. The help people are getting is such a small percentage of what is spent on housing in this area that there is no way assistance is causing prices to go up.

          Yes, thank you for quoting my statements back to me.

          and then tried to back up your assumption with a made up scenario.

          Are you just completely unfamiliar with how a hypothetical scenario works? Once again, as I just said, it’s an educational device to help you understand why things work this way.

          The help people are getting is such a small percentage of what is spent on housing in this area that there is no way assistance is causing prices to go up.

          I’ve already explained this also. I have no intention of going round and round on the same points over and over. If you want to cover your eyes and remain ignorant to reality, that is your prerogative, but I’m done.
