I work with an engineer who earns probably $150k a year. His wife doesn't work. He lives in NYC. His house has no yard, a single car garage and only 1300 square feet. Value is $765,000. It's not just the rich. Some areas of the country have property values that are just ridiculously expensive.
It is his dumb fricking fault. Move and became a conservative or STFU!

If people aren’t able to keep letting the prices skyrocket then maybe they will show an interest in fixing policies causing this problem such as rent control, set asides for the homeless, etc.

Oh I agree.
These same pricks want everyone to pay their fair share but think they should be exempt. Same goes for helping people. They feel morally superior because they support the government giving everyone welfare, but won't actually get their hands dirty to actually help anyone.

Maybe he should commute from outside the city.

So he won’t be able to deduct interest on $15,000 worth of his $765,000 mortgage? I doubt that will affect him much.

1200 sqft houses in Seattle are selling for over 800K now, my son also a engineer, just got beat in a bidding war on one. The run up in prices is mainly driven by the influx of people from California.

quote:My point was lost, or not explained right by me. His house was originally purchased for less than $325k when he purchased it, but gentrification in the last five years has raised values so much in his area that it's now worth $765k. We were discussing how much property values have changed over the last few years. For example, my home was $365k when I purchased it in 2001. It dropped in value to $285k when real estate values plummeted nationwide. My newest valuation is now $586k. All the new homes around me are going in at values of $685k - $850k, driving up values (and my taxes).

A decent engineer can live in Huntsville and make better than 6 figures while buying that same house for about $150K.
But most of the people living in those bubbles complaining about $800K starter homes would react to the suggestion that they could move to a lower cost of living place as if you'd offered them to go to rape camp.

Stories like that are so hilarious to me given how flamingly liberal those assholes vote while looking down their noses at places like Alabama or Louisiana.
I mean. I suppose we could start creating policies making it impossible for people of modest means to live here too..........but those fricks would call that racist!!!

Huntsville is but one example.
And, like I said. I'm sorry. If you're social structure is worth quadruple to you, don't come looking to me for sympathy.
I'm not from Huntsville. I could have landed many places.
Besides, aren't these the same people who look down their noses at the West Virginias of the world and basically tell me, "suck it up people.......we don't like your kind of economy anymore"?
Same to south Louisiana?
Besides, those places don't have absurd housing prices because of those who won't leave. They have absurd housing prices because:
1)THEY set policies discouraging new homes
2)A bunch of them CAME there from elsewhere.
I REAALLLLLLY don't sympathize with people who moved IN to that shite.

Seattle and Huntsville are in two different universes, there is a reason a house can be bought in Huntsville for $150K, and engineers are not flocking there from the west coast.

I remember reading a story about some lib woman who lived close to downtown Austin. She had to sell her house because she could no longer afford the property taxes. She said she voted for every progressive tax but couldn't figure out why her property tax was so high.

I get that.(Although I would agree they are in 2 different universes.......the Huntsville one being vastly superior)
But hey. I get that some people like those other places better.
I'm simply saying AGAIN..........like it if you like. But if you like it so much you're willing to pay a quadruple premium........that's a YOU problem and frankly, IDGAF.
Life's about choices. Don't choose the bubble and then complain about it.

Yeah, but these are liberal millionaires. They didn't earn their money off of the backs of minorities they way non-liberal millionaires did and therefore, are being disproportionately and unjustly affected by Trumps tax plan.
Have a heart, brosevelt.
