At least it's still possible to buy cheap housing stock in the middle of an ecological disaster zone. Think of the passive income opportunities!

oh nice the rental unit supply is growing by 15 percent! oh wait what are the new unit rates starting at?

newly built apartments near me start at $1800 a month. median income in the county is $34000.

To be fair, a new hot water tank is like $800. Shame about everything else though

where I live, they are building "luxury" apartments like crazy. it's a company town and the company pays very well (world's best hospital). the people that work there say if it wasn't for these new apartments, they would be driving up the prices in the poorer side of town. but they also say that the increased supply in rental units will drive down the average rent. still waiting on that magic moment to happen lol.

I find it fascinating how many people think that new construction will for some reason be less expensive than existing stock (holding other variables like square feet constant).

Rent will never go down. "Willingness to pay," like it's a cheeseburger or a movie ticket.

If Blackrock can get $4K+ a month for lovely apartments built immediately after WW2 and long since amortized, why would they ever charge less for new construction? lol

Ideally they'd knock down the Catholic school right behind it to put in the apartments and then adjust the property taxes back up to the $45k they should be paying.

Just use eminent domain to seize their house, and do the same thing to any NIMBY who objects to denser housing. Suddenly they're not local voters any more and there's another parcel to turn into a park or combine with other parcels for more dense housing or something.

All investments are subject to risk, bitch. Not sure why landlords and people who buy homes as investments think they are immune to this but it feels very good to remind them of that fact.

Because investments are actually risk-free if you're rich.

It wasn't cheap, it was what housing should cost. A century old 1400 square foot house should cost what a normal working family can pay.

I'm not disagreeing with you, but that same house would been going for easily 250-300k around here in the 2010s

My house was $120K in 2015. I don't think I'd have even gotten a bid on it, in today's environment.

https://www.mercurynews.com/2023/02/26/lawsuits-town-halls-and-a-hunger-strike-landlords-push-to-end-eviction-moratorium/

quote:

Jingyu Wu, an owner of a triplex in San Leandro, planned to go on a hunger strike Sunday morning outside the Alameda County Administration Building in Oakland to protest the eviction restrictions, which he said have left him teetering on the edge of bankruptcy.

Just before the pandemic hit, Wu agreed to rent one of the units to a woman with young children who was in desperate need of a home. Since then, the family has accumulated over $120,000 in rent debt as the moratorium has continued, he said. A first-generation immigrant who arrived in the U.S. from China in 2016, Wu is doing the maintenance work at the property himself to save money.

Until officials lift the ban, Wu, who is in his 50s, said he’s prepared to carry on his protest for “at least one or two months, until I die.”
