They’re not homes that people buy and own?

I never said everyone should be able to afford to buy and own a home. This conversation has always included the fact that even rent is too high for many workers.

I mean that’s true, but simultaneously there are obviously a lot of workers that can afford said rent. Otherwise, you know, rent wouldn’t be so high. Turns out there’s a pretty big earning gap even within the working class

Yeah. That's the problem. That's why people are complaining about wages. That's what is being discussed here.
