      Ooh, I feel like rent payments should be pretax or tax deductible and it would help a ton of people out.

      Someone tell me why that would be a bad idea, I’m genuinely curious.

        Home owners get to write off interest, so us renters should get something.

        The real bitch is that I could totally afford a mortgage. I’ve lived in the same place for 11 years without missing a payment on my rent, but because it’s rent it doesn’t count towards my credit score, so fuck me right?
