Can't listen to the video at work, so I don't know if more detail was provided. So roughly instead of 18 houses per 10,000 vacant, we have 20 houses per 10,000 vacant. In a place with a million homes, you would have another 200 homes vacant. Substantial, but not the end of the world. so it seems like houses are off by .2 percent or less.

I got my monthly statement last night - no increase. Landlords are aware of the situation out there right now, and to whatever extent they're not, you can make them aware.

The Walton family didn't live together because they wanted to. I know of several families that 3 or 4 generations all live in one house. Also I hate that little idiot Matt Miller he is such a cheerleader. Walton effect in full swing here. The Walton family didn’t live together because they wanted to.
