Basically the state owns your house and is charging you rent.
Absolutely. But we sleep well at night, because they are such great stewards of the money (massive eye roll).
“The state owns your house and is charging you rent.”
1. FTFY.
2. This is literally true in 99% of the USA because the state holds the actual title deed to your property and you just get an “abstract of title”...meaning that you have a document that looks and acts like a title deed but when it really matters, it isn’t a title deed.
That’s right! If you have to pay someone to live somewhere, and if you don’t pay they can throw you out and take your place, you don’t own it, they do!
>>Basically the state owns your house and is charging you rent.
True just about everywhere. Needs to stop.
I thought it was bad where I live (and it is) but Illinois is even worse.
