So, How to date a dual and do I have one or is duality a myth?

Thanks, @Bethany. I wondered about that. It seems like that kind of housing is a good idea.

I know that housing in Europe is cheaper than it is in the US, and that it's done for the purpose of enabling employers to pay workers less (because the workers have lower living costs and less need of cash), which makes the company's products more competitive for export to higher-wage countries. The governments pick up the difference when they subsidize housing, but they prefer to do that rather than to let the companies go out of business and then have to pay welfare to the people who were laid off, which is the US approach.

If there are two approaches to solving society's problems, you can count on the US to choose the crueler one.

In the US, the message is, "You need to get as much money as you can, and don't lose your job because there IS NO safety net."

If you drop below a certain income level in the US, you are basically screwed.
