The Hous¬ ing Forum
Cm I afford to buy a hune? Is it b"tter to rent or bu\? How mucli cnii I pav?
There are two scliools of thought
on   owning   proix-rty   —   one   say.s:
j "None but the wealtliy    can afford
t 1 own his own home."    The other
j :-    exi)ressed    in    the    widespread

which urge everyone to buy a house.
As  l.s  usually  the case  with   flat
tlictums    and    slogans,    neither    is
wliolly correct.   Many   who are    in
th(. very sinall income class cannot
only afford lo own their own home.s
but   ar,.   Ix'tter   off  financially,   .so-
