How those housing prices going comrades? I am sure the market will correct itself any day now, maybe another two weeks. The free market capitalist system didn't turn housing from a necessity for living into just another commodity for investors to profit from right............
>>540513564Why don't you become the guy in the top left and build your own home?
>>540513644Because he's a plumber, not everyone can be carpenters.
This situation is a direct result of a LACK of a free market.In a free market, people could buy a cheap plot of land and construction materials and build the home themselves for 1/20th of the price.Which is exactly how they do it in Eastern Europe. Homeownership over 90%.
>>540514352They count owning a commieblock apartment as homeownership I'm afraid, so yeah no
>>540513564What happens if they try to charge 600k but nobody is willing to the house at 600k?
>>540513644Do you imagine that's free and uncomplicated?
>>540514422
>>540513644>Sorry you're not zoned for that size of garage on that type of lot>Uh oh you're going to need to file mountains of paperwork to get permits or else you will go to jail for building on your own property>Whoops looks like we appraised your new build at infinity billion dollars property value hope you have fun paying taxes>Sorry sweaty our municipality only sells lots to developers ;)There are like a million reasons why building your own home is next to impossible. ((((They)))) Have done everything they can to make sure that's the case.
>>540514422Blackrock gets another trillion dollars to buy it all up, and the government makes it illegal to live anywhere that isn't a 600k house.
>>540513564You know what will certainly fix the housing market? A jewish central bank, the importation of millions of welfare-immigrants from the third world that rely on subsidized housing paid for by the productive members of society via interest on the state debt, that is to say the confiscation of their future labor.
>>540514505Oh here's a fun one I learned of recently. Dude builds his own house, so he's technically self employed, works full time. And somehow he gets fucked over for not giving his employees full time benefits and needs to pay all sorts of fines. Lol.
>>540514505>>Sorry you're not zoned for that size of garage on that type of lotCheck the zoning before you build.>>Uh oh you're going to need to file mountains of paperwork to get permits or else you will go to jail for building on your own propertyYeah, that contract had to do the same.>>Whoops looks like we appraised your new build at infinity billion dollars property value hope you have fun paying taxesAnd, how would that be any different than if you had someone build you a house?>>Sorry sweaty our municipality only sells lots to developers ;)Yeah, that's illegal here.
>>540513644You get zero dollars and end up homeless. You pay 300k anyway.
>>540513644Homeless people do it all the time and then some asshole shits on them.
>>540514485no one is expecting free homes you retard
>>540514887No that is what collecting taxes are for.
>>540513564Rentiers = bankersSimple as. They must be strictly controlled by the daddy government or else.
>>540513564The main issue around them are an over abundance of 3rd world migration (which you support btw) and companies buying homes to sit empty to act as an appreciating asset causing unneeded spikes to demand in the housing market compounded with legal nonsense like HOAs, overly strict zoning, land sales, taxes.Even though they are dipshits partially to blame, you can't even fully blame the boomers at this point when it comes to home prices, because even they are realizing nobody wants to buy their hideous 70s build house with lead paint and carpeted bathrooms for 600k. So month by month they are working back their retarded prices by a few thousand.
>>540515156Also the millions of feral niggers everywhere causing large swaths of the country to be unlivable, that’s an issue too.
>>540514686You are the world's biggest faggot. Just thought you might like to know.
>>540515244And, you're the world's most useless faggot, but you probably already knew that.
>>540513644How does he build it if the cheapest plot of land costs a million dollars?
>>540514887>no one is expecting free homes you retardWhy is infinite rent okay but free homes not?
>>540513564>makes thread about housing prices >doesn't mention the fundamental economic principle of supply and DEMAND>doesn't mention the massive increase in housing DEMAND added recently Most economically literate commie
>>540513564If you want affordable housing, the first step is to deport the 150 million legal and illegal immigrants who live in this country.
>>540514352you literally cant do that in a fucking citybut Im sure you thought about that
>>540516008Can't have demand if you don't have ownership. You gotta think like a commie.
>>540516149Don't have a demand/supply problem anon. There are already enough houses.
>>540516357Retarded commie logic. So, if someone buys all of something and hordes it for themselves that doesn't create a supply/demand problem?
so is it commie to want to treat housing like a utility in that if a private company is going to own a fuck ton of this thing you need to live, the government should be allowed to set a limit on how much companies like blackstone can charge for that thing, like we also do with private owned electric companies?whats so bad about that
>>540516357
>>540516869Nope, it's a greed problem. Just take the excess of houses greedy man is hoarding and spread them more evenly in society. Simple as.I cannot be a supply/demand problem because there are already enough houses to house people. Why build even more? It's wasteful and stupid.
>>540515320>Seething goycattle response Kek
>>540514422They raise the price to $900k and the government gives an illegal immigrant family a one million dollar loan backed by taxpayers, duh.
>>540517631There is literally nothing wrong with it. /pol/ is full of jackboots goycattle now. Notice how adamantly these faggots suck corpo dick? They pretend to be "pro-white" by attacking immigration, but when it comes to taking kike cock out of their mouths for 2 seconds they just can't bring themselves to do it.
>>540513644>>540513564>>540514686>>540517631The average person is so fucking stupid I swear. Holy shit. KekEvery thread about this topic is a sea of midwit idiots. I keep telling you how it works, I must've explained it like 100 times, and yet the midwits keep commenting the same thing. I'm usually abused and told I'm ridiculous or weird for using logical arguments, sometimes the midwits think I'm lying because logical sequences are incomprehensible to them.You also have these people spelling things out for you:>>540514352>>540514505And yet the midwit comments keep coming, as if you didn't just get proved objectively wrong.JflThe government wants people to support giving it more and more control over the economy, to pick winners and losers (as opposed to winners being that way by selling people something they want, and not even being loyal to the regime) and to print themselves a lot of free money. In order to progress towards this goal, they need people to not notice that they're responsible for the erosion of living standards, and to instead blame businesses.Just so you guys know, if you don't hold the people responsible for your problems accountable, they have zero reason to stop abusing you. If you in fact blame their adversaries, it even incentivizes them to abuse you more.Imagine if you could disguise yourself as a nigger by using some kind of mask or make up, and then rape women, and then women would in response say "look what niggers did" and become more conservative, dislike niggers, and want to date you instead. Wouldn't you rape more and more? I sure would. It'd be like having the cake and eating it too. No reason to ever stop. This is how you're being played if the government creates problems and in response you support giving them more power.
>>540522845Adding to this because the comment was too long.Think about what the meme in the OP is even saying. This only makes sense to a midwit.The original developer in the comic is literally selling the homes to someone who is willing to pay half as much as someone else is willing to pay. He is fucking retarded, there's someone who'll pay 600k and he's selling for 300k instead.Not only that but homes that cost less than 300k to make are selling for 600k. Assuming a free market, which the OP is supposedly complaining about, home builders would be rich. More and more businesses would build homes. And then it would become the opposite of what is depicted here, there would be a surplus of homes, not a monopoly.
