home properties can only rise in value

it's been literally non-double digit amount of years since the housing market collapsed, but no worries, it won't happen again. this time, wall street is buying houses with straight up cash and forcibly moving the cost of housing up in the world's most transparent scheme ever.

I had to show my apartment to a prospective tenant and the woman just loving starts going through my bookshelf pulling out photo books and leafing through them like my living room is some kind of library UGH i just wanted to tell her to stay on the other side of the river where she belongs

this is a woman has clearly never been told "no" for her entire life and every loving toddler in the neighborhood is going to grow up to be just like that

but we're not talking about houses. we're talking about apartments in an environment that is probably already short on rental properties and where new builds are not keeping up with population growth.

housing bubble collapses don't result in a lot of homes being turned over to rental. they result in a lot of empty buildings left to rot while greedy shithead humans rearrange numbers on spreadsheets. meanwhile a lot of former homeowners just became renters, driving rental demand up.

also in NYC something like 20% of apartments are just non-primary residences for the global elite who live in them for maybe 10 days a year

You really have to question the point of that.

Like, surely staying in a crazy fancy-pants hotel for those 10 days would be far cheaper than the property costs. Rich people are petty and weird.

It's also because they will be able to sell it someday after it has appreciated in value and become even more superwealthy

census data from 2012 shows that "from East 56th Street to East 59th Street, between Fifth Avenue and Park Avenue, 57 percent, or 285 of 496 apartments, including co-ops and condos, are vacant at least 10 months a year." A swath that's a bit north of that, from East 59th to East 63rd, shows that "628 of 1,261 homes, or almost 50 percent" are pied-a-terres.
