A ~$40,000 car is absolutely something that the 2021 American Middle Class can reasonably afford, thanks to the combination of 6+ year financing, and no reasonable hope of ever being able to afford home ownership, which means having more money to put towards something like an expensive car that you would otherwise not buy.
- brianwawok 5y agoYou can buy a home near me for under 100k. No one forces people to live in NYC/SF.
- artimaeis 5y agoWhere about do you you live where you can currently buy a livable home under 100k? I’ve got family in White County, GA that can’t find a non-mobile-home option under $130k. Even then, sellers are being courted with 10-20% above asking price. If there’s a place more low-cost than northeast GA I’m very interested to hear about it.
- brianwawok 5y agoNot saying it’s going to be your dream home, but there are livable 1-2 bed houses around me for 100k still. South Bend, IN. Example at 109k, bet you could offer 100 https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/3910-Addison-St-South-Bend-IN-46614/77034471_zpid/ https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/3910-Addison-St-South-Ben...
- xenihn 5y agoI'm not sure what the point of your comment is. People would rather rent in NYC/SF than live in a city where buying a home is affordable. What exactly are you trying to say with your comment? "People who don't want to live in my city should move here, purchase a home, and increase property values" ?
