What do you think is broken in the current economic/housing system?
“I’ve been hearing a lot of stories where people are renting. I own but I know a lot of people who rent. [...] They are paying their landlord rent but the landlord is not paying the mortgage so they receive notices that say, ‘you need to vacate in 30 days.’ [...] While they’re being responsible renters the landlord is not being a responsible home owner and because of that, the renters are being screwed.”

Do you plan on moving?

“Yes, I hope to move to either Chicago or New York in the next year for better job opportunities.”
