However, the US has a zero population growth if you exclude immigration

Why would you do that? Doesn't make sense to me.

I've never understood why anyone would want to live in a condo building.

Condos are hotels with suites instead of rooms.

Because the things that are important to those condo people, such as location, aren't particularly important to those who like detached homes.

"What an arrogant statement. "

It comes with experience, knowledge, and commonsense.

>> The official unemployment rate was 8.5% and the unofficial unemployment rate (people who had no further UE benefits so were no longer in the system) was 13.5%. <<

There is no "unofficial employment rate." The official unemployment rate includes not only those receiving unemployment insurance payments, but also those who are still working for work, but who no longer qualify for unemployment insurance payments.

Nothing wrong with condo life. I live in one in a small Colorado mountain town with the million dollar views. Small but adequate for my needs.

You own the entire space inside and can customize it to your heart's content. That can't be done in an apartment.

A lot of people don't want the hassle or the expense of outside maintainance. They'd rather enjoy what life has to offer. Now, if I was married, a home would have been a better investment for me. But its too much upkeep for a single person.

Good thing, too. Because a condominium is like herpes. Once you have it, you are stuck with it forever.
