Speaker 1: Well, a growing number of people just live to be offended.
Speaker 1: Most of them are liberals, which is why political correctness
Speaker 1: has run a muck in our society. A harmless advertisement
Speaker 1: in San Francisco has been blown into a controversy because
Speaker 1: it gave some people waiting to be offended a reason
Speaker 1: to claim they were offended. Now. The ad appears on
Speaker 1: billboards and bus stops, sponsored by a money lending company.
Speaker 1: It reads ten percent down because you're too smart to rent.
Speaker 1: That's it. Obviously, it appeals to people interested in buying
Speaker 1: a house, and that's the problem. The offended say the
Speaker 1: ad is smug and insulting. It's even called mean spirited
Speaker 1: because supposedly it's blaming people who cannot afford houses for
Speaker 1: their own financial situation. It oozes self congratulatory privilege, wrote
Speaker 1: one of the offended. Now, San Francisco is a very
Speaker 1: expensive place to own property. That's the reality. The median
Speaker 1: price for a one bedroom condo is about eight hundred
Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars, which means you would need eighty five
Speaker 1: large for a ten percent down payment. Since it's such
Speaker 1: a pricey place to live, most San Francisco residents don't
Speaker 1: own property they rent or live on the street, at
Speaker 1: the risk of offending the offended even more, here's another
Speaker 1: economic reality. People can move to less expensive places where
Speaker 1: they too can maybe afford to own. But if you
Speaker 1: live in high priced areas, you pay high prices. It's
Speaker 1: just the way things work, unless you want to sign
Speaker 1: back up for a subprime loan.
