    Homes are no longer meant to be owned by individual buyers. They’re meant to be accessible only to investors to then rent out to the people who ordinarily would be buying them.

    So in 4 years of Bidens presidency home cost went up 80%. And Dems think that their middle class base who is impacted by this the most will come out and vote for them again.

    Interesting strategy. Let's see how it plays out

      If the economy struggles during a Democrat's presidency, you should probably check the policies the Republican before them pushed through before jumping to blame them.

      These types of policies can take years for the full impact to be felt.

        What about the genocide going on right now in Isreal, is that the result of a Republican policy too? Did Trump force Biden to continue to provide bombs and bullets that are being used to slaughter thousands upon thousands of innocent Paleistinians?

        Also I find it super interesting that Republicans have so much power and Democrats don't. I find it super neat that Republics have power during their terms, but they also apparently have equal if not greater power when the Dems have a term too. Fascinating stuff this "democracy"

        Everything takes a decade to actually take effect and accomplish anything notable.

        On an unrelated note, political control swings wildly on a pendulum between two parties, one of which dismantles anything good ever and the other of which stands by and lets them do it while ensuring that bad things continue unobstructed so they can hurt more people.

        This is a good and functional system, and should not be immediately burned to the ground. I am very smart.

    Homes are more affordably in these cities

    Folks I think the news isn't feeling well. This is a bold subheading in the article. What happened to their editors?

    It's 80% more expensive to be able to afford a home compared to 2020

    I got a 3% raise this year. They called it a “cost of living” raise. My ass.

    There are plenty of great affordable houses in vibrant, economically prosperous, almost-urban communities out there. Like this one https://maps.app.goo.gl/r42MN8wXEYVNwqzVA . So maybe it'll need a fix or two, but you'll own the libs by not having any homeless or drug users around, unless that describes you. You'll enjoy the several functioning roads (in season) and a well-maintained railroad - hopping a freight has never been more convenient. Drop by anytime, but don't delay, this one won't last!
