I absolutely feel for younger people and their plight to buy a home, but this guy is not in that camp. Add up the cost of all his ink and that's a down payment. Maybe wear a condom or settle down before getting somebody pregnant and you'll probably have enough for two down payments.

The 40-year-old tatted up long hair with an illegitimate kid? He's exactly where I'd expect him to be.

He killed his friend while drinking and driving along with all those other poor life decisions.
Not that the housing crisis isn't an issue, it's just definitely an odd poster child for the Herald to use.
