Homes "unaffordable" in 99% of nation for average American

Real estate will crash, eventually. Hard to predict exactly when and why, but if history is any guide, a market crash eventually is practically inevitable. It could conceivably happen relatively quickly for any number of reasons, but crash it will.

That doesn't necessarily mean it will become readily affordable - when real estate goes south, a lot of other stuff will be crashing with it. History books are full of monumental calamity. There's no reason to expect that to change.

Vegan at a hospital: not respected

Reply in thread

Nah. Hospitals cater to vegetarians all the time. If you want your dietary needs accommodated then you need to be respectfully assertive and not act like you're being victimized. Maybe don't throw the food on the floor (that's a last resort), but hospitals should - and will - accommodate vegetarian diets, you just have to find the right way and person to make the request.
