Why are millenials not buying boomer McMansions?

>paying half a million for a cardboard house from which you will have to commute at least 2 hours/day to work and back + paying taxes on this monster + having 0 financial help from your boomer parents who instead of giving you all the money decided to buy a fucking boat for $400,000
Yeah, sorry you retirement plan didn't work out and nobody is giving you that kind of money. Pull yourself by your bootstraps, you can start with a firm handshake.

I wouldn't be able to live in a house like this without at least a dozen more people

One of you bitches need to buy my parents mcmansion so they can buy a better mcmansion to retire in. They actually deserve it.

bc millennials cant even find fucking jobs, especially if they are white.

Because boomer mcmansions are maintenance nightmares. They are poorly constructed. No real craftsmanship went into building them, only illegal mexican labor and they didn't give a shit how it turned out.
I'd rather build my own home, out of concrete, from scratch. Boomers can sit on their debt traps.

Millenials would rather live in an urban shoebox than commute 3 hours a day in a crossover like boomers.

They are not.
Dream on. The majority of them moan about how they can never afford a house

What were the boomers thinking? What are you even going to do with a house that big? They all had like 2 kids, it's not like they need all that space

>What were the boomers thinking?
"Finance, debt, loans. Keep the party roaring. Wooo Ronald Regan is my hero!"
Seriously every decision in their life follows this thinking.

Soon they will. Boomers will drop like flies soon.

What the fuck am I supposed to do in them after I've literally sold my life to a bank in order to cover the asking price of boomers? Hang up the participation trophies that my boomer parents gave me instead of teaching me resilience? Take out another loan and hire 2 similarly disaffected socially atomized who res because boomers shoved the profit motive into every single social activity that isn't the library? Divide the house into 5ths and rent it out to other millenial robots to make the interest payments? Tell me boomers, what the fuck do you expect us to do?

*whores not who res

They will, then your whole world will fall apart because if there is one thing you milennial idiots have shown is that you could not organize sex in a brothel, you are that useless.

>He went commie instead of natsoc
Sad!

>commute
I think this is a big reason right here. There are so many fucking people these days, the roads just can't handle it no matter how big they get. My commute to downtown went from 15 minutes to at least an hour in like 5 years. I just can't justify spending 2+ hours of my day in traffic for any amount of money, that time is precious. We need a completely new transportation system or 6 billion less people.

We don't have $220k cash for a 20% downpayment of a house that cost $350k when it was built in 2000

>buying an overpriced cardboard house
Yikes!

how's that house sale coming boomer bitch?
it's been on the market for awhile, hasn't it?
don't get mad at random people on the internet because you built a piece of shit house no one wants

$5 an hour

if poverty is forced on you might as well prefer it. most people dont stand a chance to ever own a home.

Why buy a nice house when you just need a house to get by. A nice yard (especially acres of land) is where it's at.

Plywood and mdf houses in a planned development are not nice things

this
American homes need to be largely condemned
Boomers can't build

We didn't have it so easy. We had to save up for a down payment for a mortgage too.

I wish i had the money to

A lot of seething boomers who can't load off their garbage mcmansions.

Care to explain? Sounds like you weren’t prepared for the worst

Personally I think they're tacky.

Why don't Americans build their houses out of stone? Especially considering you get hurricanes and tornadoes that regularly rip your cardboard houses to shreds.

Only fucking retards fall for the mortgage Jew. If you can't buy a home with cash, don't buy it.

> what is planned obsolescence

God I hate these McMansions, they are an eclectic mess of various artictural styles all done wrong in every way. Whoever builds these things needs to be shot.

Where can I learn about respectable house materials and construction techniques? I'm pretty good with structural design and know a lot of materials theory. Not saying I'm gonna build my own shit, but if I can learn about it all I can avoid having a shit box in the future.

Leaving in a house that 5 feet away from someone else's house, no fucking thanks.
Land size is more important than house size

>saved up my downpayment on that $50,000 house
Now you want it extra easy: after destroying the housing market and going underwater, you ask the next gen to pick up your tab with inflated prices.
It's ok to do that. Just don't lie about it

>millenials want to live in the only part of the country where jobs are
Damn fools

So renting is a preferable alternative?

someone should break your legs for this post.
god damnit

2x6 construction is cheaper.
It's changing. People are seeing it for what it is. Temporary homes that burn down or get knocked down for insurance claims. All so people stay in debt making mortgage payments.

I'm about to buy a townhome for 390k, 3 br, 3 ba, 1 car garage. Thoughts?

Oh no you had jobs that actually covered the value of a house before turning around and shattering the affordability of everything by electing Neoliberals and Neoconservatives who imported cheap labor en masse to keep your cracks and sips going until you die on Social Security

YOU'RE A FUCKING BITCH FAGGOT

br ba
kys lazy fgt

AND YOU DONT DESERVE TO WALK FAGGOT

what for? Its too big for 1 person. Imagine how long it takes to clean that place.

Most people have no clue about the true cost of home ownership. Mortgage interest, utilities, maintenance, insurance. It's a scam. Better off buying a few acres of rural land and building a modest home. Learning to grow food rather than slave away in a cubicle so you can cover next month's house payment.

Too much house for my gf and two cats and her bf

read up about it, there are many books about building homes, intelligent people can audit the information from anything
we build the way we do in North America because government forces us to build to code. So things like traditional stone building materials are actually not allowed and would never get approved.
Our only option for stronger homes here in north America is ICF

fuck you you arrogant cunt, he's just asking

The best you can use in canada is ceramic blocks - 44 or 51 cm. Log houses are also nice but you'd need at least 40 cm cedar logs or 60 cm pine logs if you expect normal heating bills.

I'd love to not have a house. Jumping through hoops doing what I thought I was supposed to do at 28 with money for a decent downpayment... Now, 4 years later, all I want to do is snap my fingers and have it disappear so I can go build a cabin in the woods.

I swear to god if I ever see you irl I'm gonna fuck you up bitch

Boomer suburbs are awful. They are built in a way that there is no way to walk anywhere. There's only one entrance and exit to the sub division so traffic ends up as a cluster fuck on one road that is never big enough to handle the traffic. If you are a child it sucks. It even sucks as an adult because there's no main street or anything, just a gas station and a Walmart. The old suburbs are awesome. The ones with small homes and a main street with multi use properties are the best. You can actually use side streets.

what?

What is wrong with McMansions?

I seriously don't see what's wrong with that house.

>Acquire wealth
>Build mansions
>Don't understand their purpose
>Try to sell them

God, american boomers are literally retarded.

Can't afford them. No kids to raise. Don't know how to cut grass, fix appliances, do basic household maintenance. What would they buy a home for?

>most people don't know about the most obvious factors of home ownership
Reminder you need to pay annual taxes on that few acres

They're asking $1.4 million for it

i hope u get hit by a car u cunt and you break those pussy built legs of yours and never walk again

when youre that close to your neighbors you can basically hear each other breath. no fucking thanks. have fun using your backyard while your neighbors peep your shit too.

Oh wait, I actually have some advice. If you're going to buy a house, any house, do it young and single. Do not let a woman, especially a girlfriend you'll probably break up with in a few months have any influence on your decision. Though I did one worse, I bought a house 3 miles away from my job of 3 years at the time, lasted another 2 there, and now work 30 miles away.

more room just means more work, if you grew up in the suberbs you know houses are just a headache unless you can afford to pay for a gardener, maid, and handyman (besides all the major repairs)
^and all that stuff requires illegals to be affordable or people who are one generation from being illegals. and we know how those ancer babies ruined our schools in a way boomers dont understand, because we went to school with them and we do not want to continue the cycle.
-
not saying you need to live in a cuckshed but those big houses in the exberbs are a shitty lifestyle built around watching TV (because culture is too far away). and the day to day costs and stresses add up in a way others wont understand

and it's made out of cardboard and popsicle sticks

>Don't know how to cut grass, fix appliances, do basic household maintenance
I have roommates right now and they have literally never fixed anything in their lives. They break shit all of the time and then just come and tell me about it. I then go to fix it. I don't understand how men in their 20s could be so useless. They even have magical devices that can tell them exactly how to fix anything, but they don't use them. I have to explain the simplest shit to them. We need to bring back shop class.

Yeah that's right pussy. You hope. You hope you'll get a good job. You hope you'll get a girlfriend. You hope I'll get injured. Not man enough to take the responsibility upon yourself to get what you want.

Me? I'll break your ribs with a tire iron and open a hole in your chest.

I've always wondered this. They live in basically the only Western country that gets hit with natural weather catastrophes regularly but they're also the only ones that build the majority of houses from wood and plastic.

Not that much, depending on location. Same price on the pic

too poor to build big slobs like that one out of stone. Burgers are big and they need big space.

Literally cardboard.

Because it's racist.

I'd rather have a double-wide on a few acres with trees.

because they are too lazy to do actual work and make their way in the world. The boomer with that house probably worked a minimum wage job and put himself through college then busted his ass and worked his way up the ranks of a company until he could afford that house without expecting things to just be handed to them like piece of shit millenials all do.

I’m just getting a 1500sqft condo so I still have a 20 minute commute. Houses in 85%+ white communities in my city are incredibly out of budget and I make 100k. At least I can build equity and hopefully one day own a house in a white neighborhood.

What a bizarre twisted fantasy. You're pathetic.

Oh this retard thread where retards pretend boomers will all sell their house the same day and lose all their $ and finally realize that niggers fags and commies are great

also this. the "Irvine style" is cancer. the main roads are like basically like merging on and off a mini freeway... to go 3 blocks. and during rush hours every stop light is triggered and every left turn arrow and it is just hell. Women LOVE these, easy to sell. and they wil enver admit, even after experincing it that it is cancer design.
> Don't know how to cut grass, fix appliances, do basic household maintenance
this is some of what I was refering to in my last post. Have you considered we dont want to waste our weekends doing that just to have a longer commute? we watched our parents waste their lives working for a house they spent their free time maintaining, they never even got to enjoy it, maybe a few times a year.I would rather just live in a guild commune and have a social life in the block common house then live 40 years doing that.

>why aren't boomers buying boomer mcmansions

Simple, I don't want one. I genuinely just want to live near a rural school and teach math and economics, have 6 children with my qt tradwife, and have a beautifully built, stout but fair sized home somewhere where it snows during the winter. Mcmansions in suburbiavila sounds horrifiying, id love to be able to have some animals, set up my own fencing. I'd like to live around almost entirely white people who share my community and culture and who's home is always open to my children, and mine to theirs. Not going to get that in suburbs of fucking nevada with boomers, mexicans and niggers everywhere. Thank white jesus for the great white north

Because in ten years when even tiny GenX outnumbers the Boomers, we're doing to democratically seize control of this country and LOOT the remaining Boomer wealth like there's no tomorrow. We're also going to tax the fuck out of major corporations, dividends, offshore bank accounts in tax shelters, etc. America WILL be a socialist country. There WILL be healthcare, education, housing, and a reasonable quality of life for all Americans.

If not, we'll burn the motherfucker down.

Yeah because everyone can just go and buy a home with the cash upfront. Nothing wrong with a mortgage.

>poverty
Poverty only affects you in the long-term if you choose to live in a 3rd world shithole, or, you're too dumb to figure out how to escape it. Neither of which is a problem I suffer from.

you sound like thier servant. They sound like the smart ones here

Commutes aren't that bad if you find a way to occupy your time. I listened to audiobooks when I drove to my old job in Atlanta and it was actually really nice. I usually knocked out an average sized novel every three days.

Supply and demand plus efficient profits from low cost raw materials and variable labor skill costs. Not only that, everyone wants their chance to get money off of the process. Zoning fees, land developers, local government bullshit, and HOA's.

Stone masons, concrete workers, skilled carpenters, and other skilled construction tradesmen are expensive for regular houses plus the materials for building the houses are higher compared to plywood housing. Working with stone is hell of a lot more expensive than working with plywood and wooden frames.

Property taxes depend on the improvements made on the land and the State. A modest home on a few acres of land in a state with zero property tax rate will always be better than living in a faggot McMansion.
