Reply to comment by ThePhysicistIsIn in Many countries have a "hidden welfare state" for incumbent homeowners, as governments subsidize homeowners through the tax system. The homeownership welfare state is strongest in the US and other Anglophone countries, but weakest in the Scandinavian countries. by smurfyjenkins

I should clarify that this was in 2010 and I also lived in a mobile home because the lot rent was cheaper than an apartment. I owned the home outright due to it being super crappy and super cheap and the fact that my parents let me live with them for 2 years before that.

But I think for those who don't have any support at all or even the meager ones that I did should still be supplemented by society because having basic needs met is good for everyone.
