Imagine spending over a million American dollars and not even getting a thousand square feet of living space.The politics of housing in America feels irreparable broken.
Mortgages feel like a scam.Renting feels like an even bigger scam.Half the shit people do for work in this country doesn't pay enough for either option.
The whole topic makes me mad because I cherry picked an example from NYC but this shit is endemic in all states.A million dollars in NYC is stupid, but I also propose that 350k in most other states is equally stupid.Regular ass normalfags like us shouldn't have to light over half our earnings on fire every month to satisfy some dumb banker or landlord just to have shelter.
Because it's not like we have practical alternatives.Slab City is too isolated. Communes get broken up by feds pretty regularly.Homeless shelters are dominated by religious control freaks (who also don't even try and maintain shelter quality).Your regular vagrant pitching a tent is going to get shot by a beat cop.And you can't live innawoods anymore because we don't have publicly available woods.So our society forces every one of us to figure out how to secure the third most important human need which is only accessible at extortionate price points.
If you would willingly buy a house in the most Jewish city on earth, then you deserve to get jewed.
>>541001958I’m looking at a $3 million house Mostly because I want any future kid I might have to not grow up like I did
>>541003761meanwhile a child was just born in a shack with no roof in a favela in Sao Paulo
>>541003878Yeah, that is cruel But that’s life
>>541003720I don't disagree but this shit exists everywhere.Average home prices are damn near 350k and average rent is almost 1200 a month.
>>541002808It's even worse where I live, you earn 2k a month after taxes but even a one room apartment is 1k a month, and if you want to buy anything over 90m2 then it's at least 1 million Euros.
>>541001958>866/mo HOAThat should be the total mortgage payment. Grim.
>>541001958Society where majority of working people can't afford a home is a failed society.
>$866 monthly HOA feeI better be getting unlimited handjobs from big titted women for that price
That's how you keep poor people out. (no niggers)
>>541005822I agree. That's all I'm really saying. It's too fucking hard for normal people to afford shelter.
