Problem is these young kids want a 300-400K home


Exactly, I see it all the time. These kids want the same house their parents live in, but have no idea the years of work it took to get there.

You can’t find a $300k home in a major metro area where the jobs are

Anything under about $200k here in Louisville is going to be in a high crime area. For instance, Longfield (not far from Churchill Downs) has long been considered the most dangerous street in Louisville. This house there is $122,000.

It shouldn’t be an unreasonable expectation for a family to live in an area of town where it’s at least moderately safe. You’re spending at least $250 to $300 to be able to do that. And most young families are not going to be able to afford that.

I have an idea. Let's Gaza everyone over 65 and it would solve the housing crisis among lots of other issues.

These kids want to keep up with their peers and don’t realize their peers’ parents made the down payment and closing costs for them. May even pay their ins and taxes just to help get them on their own.

They also want trendy cool locations and think they are entitled to that. This is on the parents for babying them and not teaching them the value of work and money.

Moron. Most of these parents bought that house when they were the age these kids are now.
