    Housing as an investment is wrong.

    The price of basic human needs should not be tied to the rise and fall of the stock market, nor should ones retirement depend on the hyper inflated values of houses. 500K+ for a small house is absolute price gouging bullshit, regardless of location.

      I agree with this wholeheartedly. A house is to live in. It’s a place to live, not a financial instrument. They are only inherently worth some amount that aligns with wages in a given location.

      So, like my first house cost a year of the median wage in my city; it was a wreck, so let’s say two years of pay was the average house. I think my mom’s house was around that too, but now they are more like 5x the median pay, that makes no sense because they are the same thing - a place to live.

      I agree but what you’re talking about is not liking Capitalism since it has to do with why housing is an investment.

          Every system is corrupt. The older you get, the more you learn things true. It’s also why communism doesn’t work. We’re inherently selfish. We can try to make it harder to take advantage of but people will always find a way.
