One thing people sometimes forget is that humans have an inner desire for adequate space. Being cramped in a place like these apartments that they're going to be testing - even if you don't get claustrophobic - is shown in studies to cause more stress, and on top of that I bet you some people in NYC don't get married, because consciously or not, they already feel too cramped and want some space to themselves.

I grew up in a double wide mobile home with 9 siblings. The difference to my family's advantage though was the fact that we live on a sizable piece of land, similar to you, which allows us to vent that need because of the land space we have.

Yes, but you weren't able to read the comment I was replying to, because it got deleted, so now it's a bit out of context.

Twisted mainstream media journalism, always construing what people say to get the public riled up... They did this specifically to draw out all the Palin haters against Mitt.

I seem to recall a lot of black people voting for Obama... Why? BECAUSE HE'S BLACK! People nearly always vote for people who represent their so-called "group," be it because of sex, race, religion, affiliation with some other group they support, etc...

A lot of people still like Chris Christie too. Rubio would be awesome though.

Does anybody else recall when Obama was pushing this through Congress that he and those congressmen who supported Obamacare were HEAVILY emphasizing that this was NOT a tax to put the minds of those undecided at ease? Well here it is, and apparently it's a d**n tax.

It wasn't about making everyone pay for healthcare or pay a fine. It's another way to increase the individual dependence on the government, thus submitting more of our freedoms to them.

I've lived in Germany where they have a health care system similar to this. Here's what I experienced and saw:

The government decides when you're too old to receive treatment. Those who are dependent on the system for healthcare are crammed into rooms with several other patients and given less expensive and less effective treatments. Emergency rooms take 3 hours to even get you to talk to a doctor. Three times as much paperwork is required. People needing certain treatments are put on huge waiting lists for months, allowing their diseases to progress further while they wait.

I SAW all that with my own eyes. And the cure-all for the German healthcare system that we are emulating with Obamacare: Oh you broke your leg? Take a crutch and keep limping. Oh, no, we're not gonna actually do anything to fix it, a crutch is all you "need"... seriously.
