Cost of living is too high
>den move dur hur
I shouldn't have to. People shouldn't be able to make a tiny home cost 500k.
You fix the cost of living, and it fixes basically EVERYTHING.
That high debt from school? Well you paid off a house already, so it's extremely manageable.
Oh, you got laid off/fired? Well your home is paid off so the most you have to worry about is food (and you can have a mini garden so somewhat sustain you).
Fixing the cost of living = financial security because obtainable for basically 100% of people.
It gives less power to employers as well so you are no longer surviving on their mercy.
Cheaper homes turns into more buying power. More disposable income which results in more spending which means demand will rise so more jobs too.
Employers pay shit... but... if you fix the cost of living and make everything dirt cheap, it would be like everyone got a pseudo raise in their wages.
No longer will 78% of fulltime workers live paycheck to paycheck. No longer will 50% of renters spend over 30% of their income on rent and of those, half spend over 50% of their income on rent. No longer will 45% of homeless people that have worked in the past 30 days remain homeless.
The only REAL expense you would have to worry about would be food. That's it. That's how it SHOULD be.
Fix the cost of living and lower regulations for what a "minimum home" needs and you fix America. Simple.
>inb4 B-BUT MY REAL ESTATE
fuck off. Most people don't benefit from real estate.
>b-but it's not that simple!
Yes it is. People just LOVE over complicating simple solutions when it goes against their agendas.
I've seen condominiums for 10k and actual homes (not mobile homes. I mean ACTUAL homes) for under 100k.
Don't feed me that bullshit that it isn't "doable".
