It's not like Condos in San Fran are affordable either, though. Last time I looked. I don't have 20% to put down on $750k. And why is it $750k? Because we can't have new construction, no, that would diminish the property values of the "established gentry", excuse me, the people who were lucky enough to buy something in 1997. So let's screw over an entire generation of Americans, maybe even 2 generations, so that the 50-somethings can keep their cushy retirement funds, i.e., their existing properties. America. The Greatest Country on Earth, unless you have less than $2-3 million in total assets, in which case you can fuck right off and go live somewhere on a farm in Nebraska.
- zaccus 10y agoThere are plenty of people who are happy to live in Nebraska. Warren Buffet is happy in Nebraska. You think you're too good for it or something? Yeah, either be worth a couple million, or buy property in a smaller city or town. If said city or town is lame, make it better. We live in one of the biggest countries in the world. You don't have to live in SF or Manhattan, nor are you entitled to.
