Before the pandemic hit, about 3.7m evictions were filed in the US in an average year – seven evictions every minute. Most poor renting families spent at least half of their income on housing costs and about one in four of those families spent more than 70%.

Most white families in the US own their homes in the US; most black families do not. Housing is the main driver of inequality.

The extremes of wealth and poverty in the US is a disgrace. One does not have to be a follower of Epicurus to realize this; the last time I looked it was against all christian principles as well. The future of the United States is not likely to be a happy one unless something is done about inequality, starting with education (please!)
