n 2025, few young people anticipate being in their homes for more than 10-15 years, if that. So extending a mortgage term to increase affordability is acceptable as long as the growth in the value of the home outpaces the interest rate and they can move to the next home with some equity.


What equity? I dont have a 50 year schedule in front of me but im about 90% certain you are still paying 100% interest and little to no principal even after 10 years.

Young, working class people can afford homes?

And that would take how long into a 50 year amortization schedule?


That is entirely dependent on the housing market.

And if you think that reducing housing prices is a good idea, how many people between 25 & 55 are going to be upside down in their existing mortgages when their 400K home is suddenly worth 300K? And before you answer, note that no one under 55 is considered a Boomer.

We all know the boomer mentality. Hoard wealth and pull the ladder up.

Trump is too honest to not say it.

To be fair. Your comment was a particularly stupid one.

There's a term for an economic system built around bailing people out for bed decisions.

Prices need to fall. Bigly.


I could see where that benefits some and harms others.

Again, whether the ideas pan out- it's refreshing to hear an administration address issues head on and seek balance in solutions.

The other guy told me not to believe my lying eyes.

It benefits most everyone and harms those who made bad decisions. That's how capitalism works.

Feel free to submit your solutions to the housing issues to Trump's team
Mine would be:
Stay away from the housing market. Tell Congress to stay away also.

Know what is worse than shite? Setting shite on fire.

20% are owned by institutional investors.

At median household income, only one in five houses are affordable to middle class families.

Your angst is years too late.

2008 was a party. Wait for what is coming. 100% total control of every aspect of our lives by the billionaires (trillionaires to come) and corrupt politicians.

I’m generally aware if the market dynamics there but i’ll have to see if i can find anything on what he is specifically crying about now on them.

Ultimately the market is leading them away from consumer-centric products because they make way more selling out to data centers. Its been a dynamic for a few years now. The micron announcement they are ending consumer space is terrible for consumers. But their job isnt to safeguard the consumer market. Its to maximize shareholder value.

What the microm announcement does do - is create opportunities for new companies to come in and target the consumer market. We need more competition there, and the added ai demand should support more competition now - its just not something that spins up overnight.


But nothing I just said would make for a very entertaining Gamers View (Nexus) episode. Its way better if he just gets up on a soap box and complains.
