Well, a growing number of people just live to be offended. Most of them are liberals, which is why political correctness has run a muck in our society. A harmless advertisement in San Francisco has been blown into a controversy because it gave some people waiting to be offended a reason to claim they were offended. Now. The ad appears on billboards and bus stops, sponsored by a money lending company. It reads ten percent down because you're too smart to rent.
That's it. Obviously, it appeals to people interested in buying a house, and that's the problem. The offended say the ad is smug and insulting. It's even called mean spirited because supposedly it's blaming people who cannot afford houses for their own financial situation. It oozes self congratulatory privilege, wrote one of the offended. Now, San Francisco is a very
expensive place to own property. That's the reality. The median price for a one bedroom condo is about eight hundred fifty thousand dollars, which means you would need eighty five large for a ten percent down payment. Since it's such a pricey place to live, most San Francisco residents don't own property they rent or live on the street, at the risk of offending the offended even more, here's another economic reality. People can move to less expensive places where
they too can maybe afford to own. But if you live in high priced areas, you pay high prices. It's just the way things work, unless you want to sign back up for a subprime loan.
