The fact is, there will always be the rare occasions where a person under the poverty level finds a way to buy their own home. However, most poor people are simply not willing to make the huge effort and sacrifices to see this dream come true, or they simply lack the resources and don't know how to obtain them. Sometimes a person comes along who wants something more and is willing to do whatever it takes to see it happen or may be fortunate enough to make the right connections or meet the right people. I doubt Bobert would be foolish enough to say that 'no poor person could ever afford their own home', but the majority never will.
