Everything else in life is cheap as fuck. I afford food, clothing, and modern luxuries just working a few mere hours per week, but god forbid if want to move out of my parent's basement I have to earn thousands of dollars every month for the rest of my life. This is fucking stupid.
I'm glad you understand. And before people come in calling me a communist, I do not agree with communism/socialism nor do I expect to be given a house/land for free.
I just don't understand why having a roof over your head is so expensive compared to everything else. You can furnish a room with sub-$100 chairs, table, beds, TV's, but then the room itself, somehow, is worth tens of thousands of dolllars. It just doesn't add up.

I was on zillow literally yesterday doing housing market research in my area and specifically looking at foreclosed homes in a 4 county radius - well I found a livable house in semi-fair conditions for just $15,000 and it had a 1/3 of an acre lot.
If you look for foreclosed homes, the prices go way way down. You don't need a brand new home that you cant afford but there is housing options available to lower income people you just have to fucking LOOK, dumbass.
Gabriel Young
Hell, you can even buy a prebuilt house on fucking AMAZON for $20k thats bigger than the little house in the OP and land is pretty cheap if you buy in the right place. Again, OP is a no brains fucking retard.
Jeremiah Gray
I shouldn't have to pay over half my income to live in a shitty apartment, plus these rental agencies treat everyone like shit because it's a college town. >Everyone has loans so we'll just make the rent $400 more than it should be
Chase King
land is expensive. Do you advocate for the abolition of private property and shill for all large sections of land to be broken up into tiny sections like trailerparks for tiny homes like you video?
Cameron Watson
We used to have YMCAs. Young men could stay in the big cities during the week and sleep at the Y.
Between the gays and hatred of Christianity most of those have been shut down or turned into homeless shelters.
Jordan Hall
>Young men could stay in the big cities during the week and sleep at the Y. Ive never heard of this. Sounds like they would have accidently turned themselves into homeless shelters. Easy to see their downfall now.
Landon Wood
Yeah same problem. I make ok money but it is still not enough. All people I know who got a house+land at my age got it through inheritance or at least parts payed for by family. All of those houses are old boomer bunker. Noone can affort something new. They are all not poor at all and work white collar or high skill blue collar and we do not live in a expensive city. Moving to a apartment that is not a shitbox with scumbag neighbours is about 1k a month. I could pay off a house with that money but getting a loan for it is nearly impossible right now, unless i pay down 50 to 100k or more. I have the best credit score you can have here and work my ass off. Pretty shitty times.
Brayden Watson
>Cheap housing no such thing people with money will buy it cheap and rent at high price or sit on it forever
Jackson Watson
then you flood the market so that the scalpers can just piss their money away paying property taxes each year on a house nobody in their right mind would rent.
Bentley Watson
What are the materials used in the building of this house?
Levi King
>Cheap housing should be priority #1. Wrong, first priority is turn the industry and hand work into 99% robotic. People should only work in the industry by designing such robots or supervising their well function. You get the niggers and spics out of the country and substitute them by machines, the white people (and asians if you have them in your country) deal with the designing and maintance of such robots. There, I fixed every western country in the world but (((they))) don't want robots but browns to mind control them.
Location, location location. Live in butfuck wyoming and enjoy the savings.
Grayson Sanders
the solution is abolishing pensions and banning elderly from owning houses in the city. A bunch of old useless half-rotten skeletons get gibs from the government (i.e. out of taxes, i.e. out of a working mans pocket) and either rent their houses or occupy their houses themselves.
Thus, useless humans on gibs that do not contribute shit occupy a VERY valuable space that is housing. Elderly should be forcefully resettled out of their city houses/aparments to some cheap shitty social housing somewhere on the outskirts.
What would happen if the government managed to bypass all NIMBYism and built massive amounts of cheapo studio apartments in the outskirts of every mid-to-major size city in the country? Would this help rent prices? It seems to me the only way to solve this problem is with abundant supply of low-cost domiciles. How else would you do it?
Connor Martinez
The majority of rent payments go to property tax. By paying rent, you are mostly paying tax. First, reduce the tax.
Andrew Wood
This is exactly the line of thought of economists: "any job destroyed because of technological advances is replaced by other jobs related to that technological advance, so it all works out in the end". This made SOME sense during the first and second industrial revolution where computers weren't actually a thing yet and you actually still needed hands to operate your machinery. The problem is that whereas you might need (for instance) thousands upon thousands of cashiers all over the country, you don't need thousands upon thousands of people working and maintaining robots. Economists actually expect labourers to just "learn to code" and become designers. Which is fucking stupid. There are already designers, you don't need thousands of new ones.
Gavin Green
agreed
It's particularly bad here
Sebastian Barnes
This is exactly what led to the cheap housing of the 50s. People would buy large plots of otherwise useless land, and using newer technologies they would basically put together houses out of more or less premade parts. That's why you have hundreds of thousands of houses in the suburbs that are all exactly the same and that tip over in the slightest wind. On the plus side, they were laughably cheap back in the 50s, so of course even a car mechanic could afford a suburban house easily. Why this stopped, I don't know.
Blake James
>Why this stopped, I don't know. der boomer wanted his housing prices to go up. So he tightened up regulations and now it's expensive to build even the shittiest house made out of garbage.
Elijah Perez
The sad thing is that everyone pretends to be a humanist, meanwhile their solution to take care of the widest part of the social pyramid is an elitist "fuck em learn to code"
Alexander Allen
They never really address the fact that the ditch digger simply can't
Elijah Adams
>This is fucking stupid. I believe the immigration crisis is partly aloud to happen because if populations started shrinking property prices will crash.
Asher Gomez
>then you flood the market so that the scalpers can just piss their money away paying property taxes each year on a house nobody in their right mind would rent.
Then the politicians that own it open the borders to fill them.
Austin Gonzalez
>reduce that tax Eh that's a bit of meme depending on what and where you own. Even in NJ which has the highest property taxes in the nation you can still make a ton of money provided your rental income isn't driving your overall into a new tax bracket which is the real trap.
Jeremiah Gomez
cope
Adam Barnes
What are (((building codes))), retard?
Benjamin Hughes
I don't know what it's like over there, but if most people can afford rent they can afford a mortgage. The difference is, at least in the UK, is that the banking crooks want a fat fucking deposit and then our kiked government wants "stamp duty" which is basically a 10-20 k fine for wanting a house.
It's deliberately fucked to try and prevent as few middle class whites owning as few properties as possible.
Eli Brown
They meet your local code to the bare minimum, but they're overpriced shit which is the problem, you can built a lot of those cuck sheds yourself for 3rd of the price.
Leo James
I don't understand how the poor deal with this shit. I was poor when I was a foster kid and I didn't give a single fuck, I burnt shit down just to watch it. If I had to live with the indignity of poverty as an adult, there's no way I wouldn't pass that shit the fuck on. I don't get why poor people aren't out in the streets filleting everybody who isn't them. I'm not far removed from poverty at all and I wouldn't blame them if they strangled me with my own entrails. I can't understand how people go to sleep hungry in my country while we let foreign corporations come in and suck up our resources. The poor should kill. But they never do. Maybe that's why shit always ends up this way. The People who will fight rise up high enough to become mollified by easy living as I have, and those who won't or can't don't matter anyways. I don't see an exit here.
Nathaniel Stewart
As it should be. Those with the capacity to contribute should be rewarded.
Worthless eaters should die off.
Angel Morris
We do have cheap housing, you retarded fuck. And do you know what goes on in muh cheap housing? >drug abuse >prostitution >murder >rape >burglary >vandalism >child endangerment
Kevin King
Thats the thing though, op wants a cheap house and that user gave him an option. The problem with foreclosures, especially one priced so low, is that its going to need at least $30k worth of renovations just to make it liveable and probably a bit more to make it comfortable.
Another option would be a double wide, you can get a brand new one for $30k, which amounts to about $500/month for a 6 year loan with zero down.
But, of course, this op is not looking for actual answers, they never are, instead what this op is trying to do is spread financial blackpills. Meanwhile, the minimum downpayment on a house is now 3.5% meaning that you could close on a $120k house for $4200, live in it for a couple of years paying less than what you would for rent, and then sell it after 5-7 years making a small to decent profit on it based on the amount of equity accrued and market conditions. And then take that profit and put it into another house that will cost less per month due to the higher down payment, wash, rinse, repeat until you have enough equity in a home to sell it and buy the next one outright.
It's very simple stuff and when ever someone comes and offers such info these shills attack it.
Adrian Hernandez
poor people have no one to blame but themselves, especially in america.
Carter Martin
>30k renovations I would say be prepared to afford double that just so you don't get caught out thinking because you have enough to buy a home outright that its all the cost. If you're looking at a foreclosure cost of ~10% of relative home value assume putting in another 40%.
Adrian Wilson
If that's true, then why is everybody out there working 9-5 for 30 years?
Austin White
Because they never have capital to invest desu. Most people squander their 20s living like faggots that aren't adults on top of being rent poor. By the time they should have already built up savings to do something with they need to buy a forever home to support a family in their 30s and overhead is much higher for that and they're living mortgage poor.
Hunter Davis
Debt slaves maybe. Slaves to woman? Kids? Vices? And on and on.
Christian Rivera
Try moving to a different city, it turns out four-digit rents aren't a problem in smaller towns.
Charles Foster

Jayden Cook
Trailers?
Asher Wilson
Because they never learned better and never cared to try. They were too busy feeling hard-done-by and pissing on their opportunities.
Ayden Kelly
Cant even get a house here, wait time is 5-8 years
Noah Powell
Housing is expensive because it’s the one thing you cannot go without. Simple supply and demand.
Julian Gray
>why is X expensive Because Jews ofc, unironically.
Joshua Diaz
>you cannot go without Arent the .us homeless explosions proving the opposite? :D
>The poor should kill. >But they never do. Because life in prison or getting shot isnt fun.
Jeremiah Sanchez
They aren't making land any more
Easton Sanders
>bit more to make it comfortable. You're poor, comfortable isnt within your price range.
Xavier Torres
Because thousands and thousands of you morons pile into the largest cities in the country and then wonder why wages are low >SUPPLY IS HIGHER THAN DEMAND and rent is insanely expensive >DEMAND IS HIGHER THAN SUPPLY
This is a problem that it is entirely within your power to fix, you just have to give up the urban lifestyle.
Dylan Gutierrez
Why don't they just call it automated cement pumping.
Jonathan Hernandez
its only recently. my ex's dad was a self employed electrian when he felt like it. only worked about 2 days a week. spent every night in the pub. no saving or inheritance yet when his wife kicked him out he'd brought another home within weeks at about 17% of the price now. property was far cheaper and mortgages were far easier to get.
Henry Rogers
>CONDO >buy an apartment building everyone else bought and good luck doing anything in the yard. I want farm land, retard.
Christopher Evans
It's not unreasonable that you have to spend 40 hours per week to secure resources for you to survive.
Elijah Campbell
Homeless people are drug addicts and assholes
Justin Morgan
and? You can fit all the shit you need in the corners, like on picrelated, and then you can even fit another human in there, like a gf to fuck, there is enough living space there.
