America’s Housing Crisis Is A Ticking Time Bomb

Is it like Mayberry? I just want someplace sunny and happy!

So by comparing yourself to a cloud, what you're saying is either that your head is in the clouds or your ideas are fluffy and lacking in substance, right?

Good call.

I agree it’s a problem. There is so much open space in the heartland. They need to build housing out there in the country and the fuck away from me. Go homestead out there. Maybe they could make a huge government project instead of a stupid wall. Jobs for builders and they can live in these homes way out there.

Getting a little crowded in your trailer park I see.

Doesn't affect me one way or the other, because I don't work in or visit them.

I enjoy knowing that I and my fellow residents of our state benefit so richly from your money, though.

Thanks.

And speaking of California and a land of "paid monkeys"....

If the south is so well-off tax wise, why is everyone still retarded?

In the places you're talking about, even without all the hoops and hurdles, and an increase in supply, I doubt the purchase prices would be significantly lower.

Land prices, labor and material costs, etc, etc all play the biggest role.

Pricing is never going to be cheap in big cities. But making cities places for the rich only is not conducive for the American economy to grow. And the OP points out all the problems that it brings because it trickles into other areas. Just ask people who live Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado and Texas what's happening to their home prices and people from California leave.

1/4 acre lots are 1/4 acre. Small but that’s not the issue. It’s that the infrastructure doesn’t need any more density taxing it. When I came to San Diego 25 years ago it was comfortable and relaxed. Now it’s getting to be sharp elbows and no courtesy, like back east where I’m from.

Well everyone there will be old enough to have been the original cast in Maybury. So sure, why not.

Perfect example, there is a waiting list for a slip. Getting a boat is the easy part.

Anchor offshore and use a tender to go ashore. Or find a port close by.

Is that legal? What will I do with my Jacobsen rear bag lawnmower?

Of course it is legal. There are designated anchorages everywhere. As far as the mower, if you are living on a boat you will be able to fish all the time. Keep it for making chum......

I am not a baby boomer, so stone caster, be stoned.

High end. You can't build "affordable" housing without massive subsidies because it doesn't pencil out. But a lot of older product today was considered high end during its time. The issue is the amount of supply, or lack thereof in this case.

And this is why rent controls and higher wages won't help. The only thing that could be afforded to be built would be even higher end.

I don't know much about "the south".

Other than in terms of physical geography, Florida isn't part of "the south".

"The south" being the traditional or "old south".
