If housing never becomes affordable are non-homeowners supposed to either deal with rising rent or move to some poo poo box small town away from job centers?

They're expected to do exactly what non-homeowners did during the gilded age, pay 105% of their income for rent and pass their debt on to their kids.

The fact that some of these are being encouraged by media networks is the sort of manufactured consent we need to avoid the wealthy holding any bag.

Illinois is suggesting they might implement free pre-k, and possibly free post-secondary for some. It would be nice. I want the same nice things for everyone, but there will be a Great Lakes Khanate born from the ashes of the ecological overshoot before the ghouls let that happen.

That game has already been played by Capital with reverse mortgages, HELOCs, and the best one yet: purchasing their home and renting it back to them "care-free," in rent-backs. The last one is really monstrous and a favorite among private equity partners.

the liberal boomer ghouls in my former employer have accepted that maybe it's a bad thing that the purveyors, craftsmen, artisans, creators, and other wealthy entrepreneurs whose businesses provide the luxury services they expect from life are having trouble finding workers. They've reached a limit for how far they're willing to commute for the trash wages that retail, luxury food production, and hospitality workers must be paid to keep in their place.

Are they willing to allow people to build homes there in their city? No way!

They used politics to force companies to build dorms, and the hotels, restaurants, etc, plan to recruit hotel management degree students from the global south so the visa and shelter are tied to obedience at work and observation at home.

They're building them out of necessity, and it's not without precedence. Even ski resorts in places like Salida are having a hard time getting employees, because the whole town has practically been turned into a resort for short term rentals, or the middlingly wealthy that can't afford Aspen.

Ski resorts have often put staff up on their own properties in the past due to the seasonal nature of the sport. They got away from it in most places, shunting those employees onto the local market. Now the local market is at least double what it was a decade ago with no real increase in wage.

Yeah, the issue is that these areas are becoming harder to find, and moving to them often means accepting lower pay or longer commutes.

I constantly post some variation of "if you literally cannot afford a house right now, things are not going to get better for you" and I feel like an rear end for doing it, but it's true. There hasn't really been a point at any time in recent history where housing conditions have improved so that marginal or excluded buyers can suddenly get into the market. Your income or savings need to outpace the market and rates or it's just not going to happen. Housing isn't going to come down to meet you unless you're willing to make increasingly drastic sacrifices in terms of where you live.

I think its possible that the secondary markets falls back down relative to the desirable locations within a context of the whole still rising from the SFH supply constraints.

theres a lot of demand push from cities to burbs and secondary cities right now particularly on the west coast to the point of affordability being near parity with the urban center for far out burbs.

a big part of that is/was covid.

This is theoretically affordable for two people with slightly above-average paying jobs. Looks great as long as you aren't single, never intend to have kids, and don't want to use your home as a place for anything except sleeping! You might even be able to get away with paying less than half of your net income for the privilege.

You'd think with the fairly minimal space there they'd have an over the range microwave that doubles as the ventilation.

What boggles my mind about pictures like these is if you're already dropping 360 on the house why didn't whoever built it/remodeled it put in some nice appliances? It's a drop in the bucket compared to everything else might as well go up a couple tiers.

There's 3 counters, one between the fridge and the oven, one where the microwave goes after you throw it away, and then one on the other side of the sink.
