I'm selling an investment property right now that's an example of this. It's not very nice, got a lot of wear and tear. No LVP flooring, no granite countertops, nothing like that. But it's livable. Four walls, a roof, plumbing works, etc. It's 3,000 square feet, plenty of room for a family. The house is selling for about $200,000, after sitting on the market for months. It's in a small town but it's about 40 minutes from a large city with lots of jobs.

There are tons and tons of houses like this out there. They're not new or nice, but they provide basic shelter. People lived in houses like this for decades. But it seems that many people would rather hold out for a 500k "starter" home that has all latest features rather than have a 1990s standard of living for cheap. Makes me doubt that there's truly a housing crisis.

those arent normal white people brother. I grew up in a town that was about 40% black 40% white 20% other. The white people were all like the white dudes from The Town or Gone Baby Gone.

these are the type of white people you dont fuck with.

Roof has problems, but total cost to do the basic repairs to the house is under 50k. And yes, the town is 50/50 black and white. But still, for 200k, someone's getting a bargain.

most "problems" in US are caused by increasing expectations, if u look at avg size of US house its gone up and up, ppl expect to live in a McMansion even though they are losers

likewise more ppl get fraud college degrees and think they are entitled to a six figure plus jerb

and its not just the US its like this everywhere now even malaysia, nepal, whatever. ppl basically bitching and acting entitled like they deserve shit just cause society has told them get a faggot degree then u are set and shit, its all absurd crap

I’ve said this in the past w/r/t everything needing to be awesome now, awesome Countertops, Flooring instead of the garbage we used to have, proles in $70k SUVs when UMC dads in John Hughes movies drove modest midsize sedans.

Millennials also got it into their heads that living in flyover made them extremely irredeemably Losery, so coasts got more crowded than ever and Cleveland has thousands of Hectares of cheap housing, perhaps some of which with Linoleum flooring. And sure, No Jobs supposedly, but we have the republican caucus to blame for that.

I live in a niggery city but e.g. Hoover, AL isn’t too diverse and isn’t too expensive. Northern cities are less niggery imo. If you’re in the tri-state then just ace OCI or live at home. Don’t try to be poor and buy a house, that’s dumb.

that's not true at all. the school I went to growing up was dead middle of the road average but there was always enough of a critical mass of (relatively) smart kids to allow for honors classes and shit. sure it was no magnet with 20 APs, but the fact is that I felt like I got a reasonably good education. now it's just another declining shithole and you have to move to the pricier district to get the same experience

OP is very much hitting on something. asshole flippers are driving up the price of housing by doing these lipstick on a pig renos. they're pricing out normal people who could buy a shitty house and fix it up over time. and there are tons of idiots who will pay for the lipstick on a pig renos and/or have no choice bc that's all that's available.

the solution is to heavily disincentivize purchasing a home that isnt a primary residence.

That’s already disincentivized. Taxes and insurance are expensive as hell for non owner occupied residences. To make money at it you have to be a boomer. It’s a great asset to Already Have if you’re rich but using it to build wealth seems Stupid unless you yourself are swinging the hammer imho

It's not just housing. Everyone's expectations for what a middle class life should be are inflated because of social media and lifestyle creep. Most middle class people in the 70s and 80s lived in houses with 1200 sq ft, kids shared bedrooms, and everyone used the same bathroom. They ate frozen dinners and SPAM, and going out to dinner was a rare treat. Now everyone drives a massive SUV, orders doordash several times a week and expects cheap 3000 sq ft houses where everyone has their own private bedroom and bathroom and located right outside of a major metro. It's ridiculous.

A lot of this is because a lot of millenials who were UMC in their little town or small city, growing up in a huge house that cost 200 to 300k back then, expect the same lifestyle they had growing up after they collectively moved to the coasts and made demand explode. And it don't work like that.

It's called not living in a cramped shitbox.

Of course the houses are bigger, because people want to spend more time at home, having friends over, throwing birthday parties, chilling in a basement, and just enjoying their lives at home instead of having to go out and find some form of entertainment.

My point is that people should expect to pay more for these luxuries and not complain about how prices are increasing

Maybe. I kind of think they want the house to look cool in Instagram pictures.

I've come to hate the word nuanced, which is overused these days, but it is applicable here. People are paying $1M for tiny 3-bed shitshacks in southern California. You cannot touch a decent SFH in any decent school district for under $1M in SoCal or the Bay area. Even on the east coast, people are paying $1M for shitty splits and 1980s colonials in the DC or Boston or NY suburbs as long as they get decent schools. Location triumphs housing quality.

Housing is expensive because:

1. Decline of buildable lands close in. The age of mass subdivisions is over for many cities. There are exceptions like Texas and Florida, where they keep building new subdivisions after subdivisions (and are more prone to boom-bust cycles).

2. Population increases in all metro areas.

3. The economies of scale means it's more profitable for builders to squeeze bigger new houses on shrinking availability of land. Building starter homes makes no economic sense to the builders.

4. Demographic changes and social engineering like Move to Opportunity have seen many suburban school districts go from nicely decent to mediocre and people are chasing fewer and fewer good school districts, particularly close in.

Close in areas with hyperlocal good school districts are very expensive and shitshacks get multiple offers.

Blaming everything on inflated expectations for waterfall countertops and fake marble is a red herring.
