The U.S. does not have a housing shortage, it has a crime problem shrinking livable areas

There are currently around 16 million vacant homes in the United States. Many of these are in areas that no one will live in due to crime.
Much of the cost of housing is due to location, which is then due to crime and safety, among other things.
The most expensive homes are generally in the perceived safest areas.
Criminals have basically herded the normies into small, expensive enclaves where they feel safe, or pushed them out of the cities entirely.
In many cities, what SHOULD BE the most desirable real estate, is the ghetto. People are pushed further and further out to avoid crime and undesirables.

Hell yes. Correct on all counts.

The response from Democrats:
“That’s racist”

95% of the country is rural and safe

Virtually all discussions of housing shortages and housing affordability are relative to cities.
No one is debating the housing shortage in rural North Dakota, or even Louisiana.
So, your response is not relevant.

Hit it on the head brother. Didn’t view it like that before.

Psshhhh, you should see the population explosion down here from people fleeing the NE & Midwest sh!tholes. It is unreal the building they are doing and home values. We have amazing infrastructure, and all of the wealthy refugees are making it a nightmare. I guess at least, I don't have to worry about being shot.
The cities are being overtaken, for sure. Section 8 goes up, nice people move out.

95% of the country’s housing is not in rural and safe areas.
Same with 95% of the population, not located in rural and safe areas.

I had 8 job offers in cities coming out of college. I didn’t have a single one in a rural area despite actively searching for one.
Also, here’s a novel idea… maybe 100% of the wealthiest country on Earth should be safe. Crazy idea I know.

Once all the boomers die, everyone can have 5 houses.
Joking, but also not joking.

This really is the heart of everything.
This, plus the cost of college education is stripping homeownership as a dream for an entire generation of young adults
Think about LSU/Tigerland/North of LSU as an example of how it all ties together

Japan, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, New Zealand for examples.
Unfortunately there’s other problems with each of those places.

You don’t have a right to live in a city. If you can’t afford it, move elsewhere

It sounds like you've come to understand the purpose of federal govt housing programs. White flight props up the construction industry.
Posted on 2/10/23 at 6:07 pm to Bjorn Cyborg
Partly true. People don't want to live in inner cities ran by democrats and thugs.
But hard working lower wage earners can't buy a $250k starter home.

I would imagine if north Baton Rouge was actually renovated and the house were nice and businesses were there, it would be a pretty great side of town but not one of those things is gonna happen

Yes. I’ve been saying this for years.
At least in the south, if you want to buy in an area with legitimately good public schools (meaning not just majority white), it’s going to be pretty expensive relative to the average income in the area. Lots of old suburbs, which had great schools 40 years ago, are just kind of run down and trashy now.

Look at the poster who is dealing with that homeless disaster basically in his backyard. A good neighborhood that has essentially been tainted to any future buyers due to something that happens in third world countries.

Not sure Sweden belongs in this discussion any more.
