re: Millenial homeowners "get real" about their success

I said a HOUSE in the middle of a city.
If you want to live the lavish, central urban life, get a shitty, small apt like people have forever. When you grow up and want a house and a yard, you'll get it
I talked to a guy from Manhattan standing in line at Disney last week. I told him my mortgage payment just to make him laugh. He said he pays that to park in their garage for the month. His apt overlooks the WTC memorial. Pick what you want, but don't try to make the world cater to you.

Baton Rouge city life is different than what you’re imagining I promise 
Do you even know what “city of Baton Rouge” means? Have you ever been there or understand it? If so, you’ll realize wtf people are talking about.

I'm talking about cities in general, as is the article in the OP.
Nobody has to live in BR

You realize that most cities have neighborhoods with houses and yards and all that shite in the actual city right? Not everything is NYC.

show me an expensive house in the middle of the city and i'll show you a little shitty yard...
To each their own. I'd be down to live in a big city for a couple years, but I would be realistic and just get a little apartment. I'm not here to tell people that where they want to live is stupid, just that expecting a certain price point is stupid.

That guy sure does sound angry though.
Maybe he needs a Snickers.
And yeah.....”city” isn’t necessarily NYC.

You're the type that considers any yard not measured in acres tiny, right?

When this word millenial first was created, there was a gen x, gen Y and the millenials. Now the gen Y are categorized as a millennial, which I don't understand because I was a teenager by the time the millennium came around. I thought the millenials were the kids that grew up post millennium?

These were never millennials. These have always been Gen Z
ETA: Thought you said born post-millennium.
Millennials are typically those born from 82/83 through 1995/1996

Not at all. My yard where I live isn't even over an acre. But I also don't have neighbors breathing down my neck and every other negative that comes with urban life
Like I said, to each their own. This isn't my argument. I just wanted to yell at those bitching about the prices.

I completely disagree with what the previous poster said that you have to spend 375k to find a house in a decent part of town in BR. It's definitely not that expensive.

I agree, but good luck finding a $150k house within two hours of NYC that you wont share with rats and holes in the roof.
In the traditional model, NYC is not a place you start out unless you’re ok with living in a run down apartment while life weighs whether you are worthy of home ownership in the city. You start out somewhere manageable and once you have separated yourself, you either take a high-paying job in NYC or your company transfers you there.
Or you start a business and sink or swim.

Nah it's people born between 1981-1996 per Pew Research.

There are lots of houses within city limits of most major cities that sport sizeable yards. It might not be the majority of houses, but it's not like they don't exist. Atlanta, Nashville, Charlotte, Houston, Dallas, etc etc etc. All of these cities feature neighborhoods that have respectably sized yards.

This thread somewhat lead to BR talk but I get what you mean in most major cities.

I don't think most people on here are choosing between living in Manhattan and living on an acre of property.
Let's say you live in Austin or Nashville and don't want an hour plus commute. You probably need to fork over 400-500k for a small house with a reasonable commute.

I can walk to my office and I live in a nice town and in a nice neighborhood. Good schools. Low (no) crime. The houses around me are nowhere near $500k. You can easily buy a home for under $250k not far from where I live. The difference is I started my own business 20 years ago and went through all the trials and tribulations, so now I get to pick where my offices are located. There are many ways to get to the end result that don't necessarily involve big cities or $million homes. All of them will take effort and some creativity, though.

First, I have a buddy who lives in Nashville not 8 mins from downtown with probably a 2200 at least sqft house that they paid around 350k for... not that that was my point initially anyway.
Either don’t live in Austin, or buy something you can afford there. Duh?

That exists. But you might have to move out of NYC or SF.
