You, yourself, said there are 161 million privately owned homes in the US.
What is the current population of the US, and do you think there is a one person per home limit to residence?
Somebody hasn't played cities skylines 2. It's all single occupant housing.
Real actual answer: only one state has an average occupancy of 3 people to a house, Utah, and the rest don't crack that number. Our most recent census (that thing almost none of your friends replied to) shows more than 3 times the ACTUAL number of privately owned homes in 2021 (83 million), and you could've had these same statistics in front of you and verified in seconds if you actually gave a shit about information instead of just arguing like a parrot.

Ok buddy "parrot"
You are quite literally showing me a graph that proves my point, but I'm guessing you don't understand the info shown here. 70% peak homeownership is perfectly in line with what I just said, the simple conclusion was ~2/3 from that data.
Oh, you think the number I have to defend was the exact number as quoted by a different person instead of the percentage I referenced?
Interesting stance, Mr Brainiac. Probably works on Twitter.
This kind of posturing makes you sound extremely stupid.
I find that most people use insults that speak more to their own insecurities than the person they want to offend.
I asked if there were. Asked does not mean tell. Also you are not goal posting moving.
No, you said "There are 161 million privately owned homes in the US,"
You can tell that isn't a question because we have these things called question marks.
We really need to increase public school funding.
Not my fault you made a grammatical error.
