And now Joe wants to absolve all student loan debts too. Here's my take on that bull shite. I paid for my schooling in full once already - and now these dipshit blue hairs with their useless Russian literature degrees from Stanford and Dartmouth want me to pay off theirs too by way of my tax dollars. F that.

No young person starting out in a professional career can afford a $400K home without serious help from their family.
400k is a hell of a house. Maybe bump it down a bit? I feel like most people that are married could comfortably afford a 150-200k house if they can get financed for it, with proper budgeting. Of course, not to disregard your subject. I do agree we have a lot of economic woes.
Don't go to college and assume that debt unless you KNOW your field pays off. That also is a critical role for younger people.

You can’t always get what you want. But if you try sometimes, you just might find you get what you need.

The artificially low interest rates have bolstered the housing boom. When interest rates rise, fewer and fewer will be able to enter the market and the bubble should burst. I don't know if that will equal social unrest.

For all the sh!t we give younger folks, I do feel for them
If they want to succeed they need to lower their standard of living. I bet they still buy $7.00 cups of coffee from Star bucks and order food to eat almost every night. If they want to succeed they need to give up some luxuries like we all did when we were starting out

Why should younger folks not expect the same?
at least thats a tacit acknowledgement that younger generations have a larger barrier and things are different now than they were.
we should be asking why should they have gotten benefit from the gov artifically propping up their ability to enter the market which is now harming the younger generation. there would be more supply of houses on the market and lower costs if they weren't so entitled to homeownership at more reasonable prices.

smh older generations were so entitled, why should millennials be able to get what they were able to?

As a Nashville native I feel bad for locals trying to purchase homes but not all of the transplants. They are the ones driving up the prices

The workday commute from Columbia to Nashville is probably 2 hours each way in normal traffic.

What happens when the new construction in the suburbs starts to exceed 250K for most of the starter homes? 10% down in 25K

I searched for a generic architecture firm in Nashville. Hastings architecture. 225 Polk ave in downtown Nashville. 50 to 70 min arriving at 8 in the morning. 55-80min leaving at 5pm.
Or sacrifice and go in or leave earlier or later and save time.
But all I hear are excuses.

Back in 2017, that was definitely out our price range, today, the interest rates are even higher than they were back then.
That is the problem most people have and what lead to the 2008 crash. People buying houses above their price range.

It seems you get your picture of a the prototypical millennial from cable news. When you say things like this, it let's me know you aren't a serious person.

Not sure I buy this argument. Nashville is about 2 decades behind the northeast and I know plenty of people owning homes up there and did so back 20 years ago. A good friend paid $75 for an 1800 sq ft house on a 1/5 of an acre 12 miles outside of Boston. in 2009. He was making under 70k

Your parents likely didn’t start in the house they live in today
They did.
My father worked in a steel mill and my mother worked in a grocery store. They were able to afford a new, very nice 2000ish sf ranch home with a 1100sf detached garage in a very good neighborhood/school zone.
My father passed away and my mother still lives in this home.
A couple with equally blue collar jobs today could NEVER afford that home.

You are a complete fool if you think the standard of living for a 27yo in 2022 isn’t already substantially lower than the standard of living in for a 27yo in 2002, 1992, 1982, 1972, etc…

I don’t want to know your parents hometown but I call bs that you couldn’t find a nearby house and two blue collar jobs in that area.
