re: Can anyone here admit that a lot of hardworking young people are fricked?

Another problem is that what makes a neighborhood desirable is excluding the sort of people that would move into a more modest home. Without some form of legal exclusion price becomes the only means.

I’m 35 years old and I’ve been unemployed for almost a year.The current job market is horrible. Ive been working with workforce solutions and applied to over 500 jobs but haven’t landed anything. Ive done a few interviews but no offers yet. But instead of complaining I keep grinding and praying to the good lord above knowing it will all work out. Complaints don’t solve problems actions do. Not everyone gets delt the same hand in life or has the same resources that others do. Everyone’s story is different and it’s their own story to write with the decisions they make.

Should’ve never done away with housing projects and actual ghettos. Section 8 etc has moved those people into modest housing instead of isolating them to their own shitholes.

Pause H1B visas. Stop flooding the country with human capital. Not needed right now. We have plenty of talented, educated Americans. It suppresses salaries for so many when there are people, living four families in a single rent house, willing to work for peanuts.
Then watch as all the professionals start getting decent wages.

“Yes is the short answer. But there is a reason.
Expectations have risen. No one wants a 1400 square foot house with window units. Because of that, the average house now has amenities that were true luxuries 30 or 40 years ago.”
Boomers disproportionately benefited from systems whose costs are now landing on younger people. Not blaming them and your statement is right. They went through some horrible periods for sure. This a good thread and there are a lot of factors at work. I think the main thing is recognizing that there is a problem.

Housing price growth has drastically outpaced income growth. Fill stop. Any and all other valid critiques of this generation aside, the core problem is that there is a mismatch between housing demand and housing supply. And it’s unequivocally hitting the upcoming generation harder than it hit those prior
One thing that is exacerbating this problem is the flood of millions of immigrants that are both taking up a huge portion of the lower priced housing options and also contributing to driving up the demand, and overall price, for housing. This problem is only made worse by large portions of many cities being virtual no-go zones for young homebuyers because they’ve become virtual third-world shitholes thanks to the influence of ghetto culture coupled with the influx of immigrants from actual third-world shitholes.
The mantra that’s been driven into the minds of Americans for years is that multiculturalism is good and “diversity is our strength”, but when you see what it looks like in the real world, it’s obvious this is a lie. Instead it’s made large portions of the country unlivable to the average American.

A window unit is cheaper today, not adjusted for inflation, than it was in the 70s and 80s.
Central air was $2000-$5000 install in the 80s. No one is going to build a house without central air in the south because it wouldn’t sell
Appliances and tv simply aren’t the luxury purchase they used to be

If many young men would stop online gambling and paying to look at some skanks butthole they might be able to save a few bucks.

I admit it.

I lived in a trailer until I was 30. I would of loved an old 1400 sq ft house.
I mean yeah, some people do have unrealistic expectations, but most don't. The only people I know who have unrealistic expectations like this are spoiled upper middle class white girls who grew up with parents that catered to them at every step. Everyone else seemed to have a grasp understanding of how the housing market worked.

So true, I was able to buy 5 duplexes by just giving up Starbucks and avocado toast.

Gotta be honest. I didn't feel real great about making minimum wage at an on-campus job in the mid to late 90s and having to repay student loans.

This is not a “young folks are spoiled and greedy” rant. I think a lot of baws would live in more modest houses if they were available in decent neighborhoods. They just aren’t that available.
This is what I was talking about when I posted about how the flood of millions of immigrants from third-world shitholes taking up most lower cost housing options, coupled with the lawlessness an crime that comes with ghetto culture, work hand-in-hand to (1) limit the number of low-cost houses available to young people and (2) limit the areas where they want to live.
The American Dream has been sacrificed in the alter of multiculturalism.
