Welcome to America! EVERYthing costs money here; it costs money to blow your nose, or at least it will when someone figures out how to make a profit from it!

The sad thing is that most people can't afford it, and the one-time "American Dream" of owning a home has pretty much been erased, as more and more people rent, and more and more properties are actually owned no by individuals, but by giant property investment conglomerates who then rent them out.
