In 30 years time, you’ll own a house and those refugees will own what exactly?

Hopefully a home in Ukraine, where they want to go back to?

Like, what do you expect them to do? Run away from their home and BUY a house in a foreign country? What exactly was your point?

You know what I did? I HOUSED a Ukrainian refugee in MY OWN DAMN HOME for NO COST, because I’m not a piece of shit

Good for you! I did the same. 9 people in total lived in my apartment made for 3-4. I slept on 90cm cot with my wife, so that they could use the bedroom bed to sleep with their little children.

What was your point again?

And how exactly will they purchase a home in Ukraine if they're spending their income to pay your mortgage?

It might surprise you, but:

  1. They already have a home in Ukraine. Will probably need renovation, though.
  2. They're not spending the entirety of their earnings on rent. What - other than "landlords are literally Hitler" - gave you that idea?
