Not everyone wants to be a homeowner because they can't afford it, which has led to an automatic mindset. But in reality, everyone wants a home and a good car-those things are a basic part of life.
Why are cars a basic part of life? Reliable transportation, 100% yes. But a car? That's $10k just to operate it. BTW cars are only a recent part of life. Shelter goes back thousands of years.
We've been conditioned now to think that having a home is an 'asset' or almost a luxury, rather than for what it is, a basic human necessity such as oxygen, water and food.
I don’t understand how someone can really get comfortable with saying they expect someone else to house them. To me the most important thing to do in your life is to house yourself. Forget everything else. This whole mentality has actually caused this. If people were focused on housing themselves there wouldn’t be such a large rental market. Also people paying too much enabled developers to rob them.
@@yc5000 That mindset has caused the high rents. How could you not want to own a home? Where would you put your belongings? Better yet why would you want to own anything if you don’t even have a place to put them.
House is not just a place to live. It is connected to the trillions of debts owned by banks. Bankers rule the world and will never let house prices to fall. So until the bubble bursts there’s no way out.
Why would house prices fall if there is more demand than ever before? Or are you implying that people aren't actually looking for housing today, that there isn't a housing crisis?
@@hmmm2564 No, it was the opposite. Between 9 million people losing their jobs, Interest rates being raised to 8.25% by the fed explicitly to make borrowing harder (therefore reducing demand, since fewer people could afford mortgages) to cool down the overheating economy and 3.1 million foreclosures in 2008, all of those show a decrease in demand and increase in supply, which is why housing prices crashed by 30%.
@@serebii666 that's not dissimilar to the situation now. Buyers are struggling to sell. People can't buy but want to buy because of interest rates and high price. people are losing their jobs or underemployed
It seems to be a never ending phenomenon. The city where i live have House and condo construction going on everywhere, all seems to be mostly more units for investors and their portfolio. Prices of rent and home prices keep going up, and Homeless population keep going up. Corporation and investors shouldn't be able to compete with people who are just looking for a roof over their heads.
Corporations and investors are the ONLY ones ( by and large ) that can afford the cost of construction; hence, build to rent NOT to buy. Those same rentals would sit empty if the for sale price was listed.
Under-regulation isn’t the problem. The problem is actually OVER-regulation (zoning laws, environmental review, excessive development fees, local government nimbyism). The supply of housing has been artificially constrained for decades and hasn’t been able to keep up with demand.
Think about how this will negatively affect marriage rates birth rates ... When you have Banks and equity firms basically buying up properties as rentals and investments you're not going to have a housing market that young adults can enter. I was 25 and I owned a duplex that paid under $50,000 for.. we did all of the renovations and sold it for three times that amount... . Same house just went for sale for $425,000.
I lived with family in rural area , no internet , no bedroom , no busses , barely running water . I had to move out and I'm stuck renting , it's impossible
The thing that’s so bewildering about home ownership is that even with the small supply of homes to buy, real estate isn’t a particularly strong investment compared to stocks. It’s good to not have to pay for housing when you retire, but it’s often so much more expensive to buy a home with financing and 20% or less down, than rent the same property. It can be such a difference that I commonly recommend that people consider renting and invest the difference that they would otherwise pay to buy their home (or as much as possible) and then a few decades later after you’re 60 years old, you can take out invested money with few tax penalties, and use that invested money to buy a home with cash outright. Sure the home will probably be a bit more expensive in that future date. But you’ll save so much by not having to pay interest on a loan. And homes historically beat inflation far less than stocks on average (1% for homes and over 7% for the SNP 500). Plus there are a lot of extra housing costs for buyers that renters don’t have to pay. It’s not just the rental price vs the mortgage price that should be considered when evaluating buying vs renting. Extra costs for buying vs renting can easily tack on 30%-50% more than the mortgage per month in other costs that a renter wouldn’t have to cover. There are property taxes, maintenance costs, HOA costs, PMI, and the transaction costs and opportunity costs for home ownership which are often ignored when people consider buying vs renting. Renting and investing for buying in later middle age rather than around 25-35 years old can be a great plan.
We all used to live in communal living for longest time in history. Today's living isn't sustainable with family of 4 living in a 5 room house. People used to live in joint families with larger houses or smaller, tiny houses of today next for a single family.
@@WaveRider1989 people have lived in bigger properties 80, 100+ years ago. My grandparents had a large plot of land with a large house for their many children. They grew a lot of their produce and food was bought /sold within their immediate area. Nothing was imported from the other side of the World. Now, land has become expensive, not the size of the home itself. It’s land. We are expected to live on very small plots of land or worse, small apartments which in all seriousness, isn’t very humane.

On the subject of communal living. Why not purchase a home with a group from your family instead of friends. Family would tend to stick together longer than friends and once the mortgage is completed, the group purchase another home and on and on until everyone eventually has a home of their own.
Well I suppose there was a time that you could actually "own" land and property. That time has passed. Even if you manage to pay off your mortgage, you still have to pay yearly property taxes and other expenses. You own nothing. If you don't maintain it to code, you can be fined for it and lose it. If your property taxes go sky high, which is out of your control, the state will take it. If the state decides they need to build a road, railway or pretty much anything where your land is, they can and do take it. You're out. Because the greed of the greedy knows no bounds and their sticky fingers want more, more, more. Like a thirsty man drinking salt water to quench it. Their god is money, power, privilege and living luxuriously with the world.

Cry me a river. You have a home worth almost $3million. You are part of the problem. Looking at your handle this just supports my thesis, Ayn Rand wannbe. Actually she was a fraud benefiting from social welfare programs while she wrote.
I cant do the communal living. Not everyone can do that. I cant stand having lots of people and noise in my house. Plus people don't do what they are supposed to do like their share of cleaning, etc. And people bring friends or partners over that dont pay rent but dont ever go home. Its a no for me
try getting a bank to finance cohousing. People can't leave unless they can keep paying their mortage until a new tenant is agreed on to buy out their share. Its bedroom based strata title where you have to wait 6 months for a new buyers trial coliving to complete before people agree to them buying in. Pocket villages remove that stress but the nimbies and council estate agents hate it
A mortgage doesn't skyrocket like rent, you make equity. My house has almost doubled in price since I bought it in 2018, and I paid cash. If this doesn't make sense to you then maybe you should go get a cardboard box to live in.
Owning a home is not that great. I cant wait to get back to a rented, smaller apartment without property taxes, insane insurance, and maintenance and repairs. Believe me, you dont necessarily want this. Id be way better off financiallt renting!
The private market will build at the most profitable top market. This will meet top demand and push prices down on older homes pushing those older homes to the lower priced end of the market. Building to meet demand won’t solve the total problem by itself though without building more other solutions won’t work. Building enough is the first step to solve the problem.
Affordable housing cannot be a solution; 1. There is simply no criteria or standard of what is affordable for people. 2. Affordable housing is basically relying solely on the private market for the solution whereas it’s the deregulated private housing market who caused all this plight to begin with. 3. Affordable housing is still predicated on the financial logic to help private developers who include not well defined affordable units in their projects. Please don’t pretend that the affordable housing is a solution. It’s is not and never will be. It’s social housing that will solve this housing crisis and set a market regulation.
Homeowners complain about property taxes, maintenance, insurance, and HOA fees. If I were wealthy, I would never own property. I would live in luxury suites.
It's a possibility that we live a multivers with parallel worlds. Once these stuff are discovered probably housing will be only a single door with no parcel nor acreage. This will destroy the farming of humans through artificial housing shortages. Everyone will have their own ranch.
Everyone stop paying rent at the same time. In Australia at least, there are simply not enough police officers and not enough prisons to stop 8 million people who are sick of renting.
Government intervention isn't the solution, cause to me that doesn't sound like a democracy. What these are saying are basically: "Let's all be China and let everything be State owned"
The point was completely missed by this report, since 2008 the US population has grown about 14% nationally while building slowed to a crawl between 2008-2020, to the point the US is estimated to be short 4,000,000 housing units to meet demand, then there the reality that less that 3% of all homes in the country are owned by corporations, despite what the activist is trying to sell, thirdly and most importantly for those in need is the grift in the government sponsored housing programs. Since 2018 in my home state of California alone over $35 billion has been spent to house the homeless, enough to give every homeless man woman and child in the state over $2000 a month, but in Los Angeles county the cost to provide a bed for a homeless person is over $800K?!?! Let’s be real theee activists and politician connected non-profits are slimming off the top at Bernie Madoff levels and no real attempt to solve housing because if people get houses then all these nonprofits and government agencies can no longer drain the taxpayers. The solution is to build and to use this need for construction and tradesmen as an opportunity to provide vocational training to meet that need, but then there’s no desire to solve the problem by government or their cronies
@@mathelga 101 economic. The bigger the price, the bigger the taxes. There will not be more a lot more houses, because of state greed. Its the same in my country.

How can developers build enough housing for nine billion people? There isn't enough space on the planet. We must admit that we've shifted too a renters market globally and tax trillion dollar companies too subsidized renters rent, that's the solution.
In Australia, Canada, New Zealand property is now an asset class with tax incentives. Sadly genie has already been let out the bottle. The co-ownership amongst friends is great for lawyers & government fees (strata is bad enough) re-amending contracts & titles. Unfortunately savings in the bank only keeping up with inflation % or investing in Shares/EFT won't keep pace with $1m leveraged asset. Even single property owners are falling behind, as the gap between properties widens to the house they want eventually want upgrade to.
Afford a house where? In big cities like New York? Not even in Staten Island of New York but in Manhattan of New York? You need to understand that spatial planning of these cities are not done to accommodate rest of the population of USA. So either increase the number of cities or change the municipal borders of existing cities.
How do you know profits are up? Yes the rent is up but so are costs to own a home. The cost of homes have doubled in the last 7 years, interest rates are 2-3% higher, insurance cost are higher. The cost of owning a home is sometimes double the market rent so how is that price gouging when the rent doesn’t cover every expense? Property taxes rise every year. Before we left the gold standard the average house cost $25,000 today it cost $425,000 so the value of the dollar going down is correlated with housing prices going up. If the value of a house is $25,000 you can charge a lot less money for rent than if a house cost $425,000.
When you have a limited number of anything prices go up and that what you see right now here in the United States we haven't built a lot of houses in recent years .and went Biden came on as president that was one of the thing he did was to building more houses . and because of the covid 19 everything was much higher like building materials and things like that so president is building 2million more houses just like Harrison when she becomes president she wants to build 3 million more housing once you limit the once we build more housing the housing prices will go down because it won't be a limited number of housing and our population has grown more and more in the in this couple of years

Because America is owned by the people not our government who sends all our money overseas
Anyone who has a job but finds the rent to expensive for their income should use the rent money to buy a decent used vehicle that they can sleep in and get a YMCA membership to take their showers and maintain their personal hygiene and use the other facilities to stay in shape by lifting weights.
Talk about a feminist broadcast.
Lol skyrocketing prices in Nz😂, their market is down 20%
How can developers build enough housing for nine billion people? There isn't enough space on the planet. We must admit that we've shifted too a renters market globally and tax trillion dollar companies too subsidized renters rent, that's the solution.
Preditory gentrification

In Australia, Canada, New Zealand property is now an asset class with tax incentives. Sadly genie has already been let out the bottle.
The co-ownership amongst friends is great for lawyers & government fees (strata is bad enough) re-amending contracts & titles.
Unfortunately savings in the bank only keeping up with inflation % or investing in Shares/EFT won't keep pace with $1m leveraged asset.
Even single property owners are falling behind, as the gap between properties widens to the house they want eventually want upgrade to.
high taxation the problem in australia the government stealing 80% of your money why you struggling to pay off a mortgage
Bitcoin is fixing this
The entitlement of these individuals is unbelievable.
This is old huh? Leilani isn’t the un rapporteur anymore.
HIS BALL las also lost their housing 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Homelessness is 99.9% mental illness issue not housing crisis .
So true
Afford a house where? In big cities like New York? Not even in Staten Island of New York but in Manhattan of New York?
You need to understand that spatial planning of these cities are not done to accommodate rest of the population of USA.
So either increase the number of cities or change the municipal borders of existing cities.
How do you know profits are up? Yes the rent is up but so are costs to own a home. The cost of homes have doubled in the last 7 years, interest rates are 2-3% higher, insurance cost are higher. The cost of owning a home is sometimes double the market rent so how is that price gouging when the rent doesn’t cover every expense?
Property taxes rise every year.
Before we left the gold standard the average house cost $25,000 today it cost $425,000 so the value of the dollar going down is correlated with housing prices going up. If the value of a house is $25,000 you can charge a lot less money for rent than if a house cost $425,000.
So tara has some fancy titled job ive never heard of and from what i heard her say she is only there to rattle of statistics and info we already know
When you have a limited number of anything prices go up and that what you see right now here in the United States we haven't built a lot of houses in recent years .and went Biden came on as president that was one of the thing he did was to building more houses . and because of the covid 19 everything was much higher like building materials and things like that so president is building 2million more houses just like Harrison when she becomes president she wants to build 3 million more housing once you limit the once we build more housing the housing prices will go down because it won't be a limited number of housing and our population has grown more and more in the in this couple of years
Generation broke.
Problem is these are kids who dont understand how the economy and life works
Nobody understands how the economy works. Not even economists.
You mean like how it starts reasonable and ends up rigged?
lol this episode is one big feminism like do you know men exist?
The communal living girl sounds like an industry plant.
Btw, 55 million immigrants come to the USA from 2021 to 2024; that's why we don't have a home for new people.
True. 👍 And they are still comming. And a lot of them have money to buy, so the locals have to deal with high demand.
Without the hardworking , high tax paying immigrants, how can the USA survive?
How did you get to such a figure? That's like a 20% increase which is astronomical
F em! 😂
😂
Get rid of capitalism and replace it with socialism
Replacing one ism with an other means replacing one problem with an other
@@corrosivedevourer 😂😂😂😂😂
This is leftist propaganda 😅
@@sandybeach3576 How's that?
@@sandybeach3576 look at the hair it’s awful
Most of the high profile lefties are jumping ship on the right boat.
Palestine is best place for home buyers
No! The best place to get free housing is in North Korea.
When you let housing become all about profit and capital gain and allow banks a huge slice of the action, well this is the result.
