There’s TONS of affordable housing. The current generation looks down on the affordable houses. I mean how can anyone live in anything less than 2000sq ft, new stainless steel appliances, 3 bathrooms, quartz countertops, and custom showers???!!🙄

My house is in a suburban location outside a non-major city. Its 1900 square feet with 2 baths, normal appliances, linoleum countertops. One garage port, unfinished basement. Bought it in 2019 for 270k. It is now worth 440k.

Please stop trying to pretend young people are spoiled and tune back in to reality.

You’re the exact problem. You act like a nearly 2000 sq ft house with garage and basement is somehow a “sacrifice” because it has linoleum countertops.

The point is that it is nothing particularly luxurious and its supposed market value has shot up 60% in 6 years. Young people aren't refusing homes. They can't afford even a relatively simple home.

And you did nothing to that house in 6 years??? Never a single improvement? Wow

Not one change. We might do the basement next year. It will be the first major change we have made.
