This article delves into the root causes of this affordability crisis, exploring economic, societal, and policy factors that contribute to the struggle faced by millennials and Gen Z
I wish homeownership wasn’t so important in the US.
I’m probably going to buy a house at some point because it’s what makes sense given how our society is currently set up, but really I wish I could just rent an apartment for the same as (or marginally more than) what it costs to maintain & insure an apartment. If I could do that then I wouldn’t really give a shit about owning a home.
you're describing a condo, and good luck finding one if you don't make at least 6 figures and can't pay in cash. you'll be competing with investors who snap them up within a week of listing.
