#buy empty lots or fuck off i hate that i'm competing with downsizing boomers for our first fucking home while ''inventory'' shrinks

[returntotheground]

we found a town with lower priced homes for the area ($300k-$500k range) and a still decent school system and just overall looks like a nice place to live

aaannnnddd in the last few weeks a bunch of developers have moved in and torn down several small homes and are advertising $850k-ish monstrosities once construction is complete and it's looking like they're planning to essentially take over the entire town

we need to burn this system to the ground RIGHT now i swear to fucking god

#i am LIVID #WHERE ARE WE SUPPOSED TO LIVE HUH??? HOW IS THIS SUPPOSED TO WORK #like it's kinda far from any jobs but it was in a price range we could afford in a year or 2 once i get a job again so whatever #you make do right? except APPARENTLY NOT bc these stupid fucking companies are already moving in and wrecking it #apparently the rich are the only ones supposed to own the rest of us are supposed to either pay buckets of rent or end up on the streets #god i'm so angry #i'm so tired of this shit i want the housing market to fucking collapse so hard that no one treats property as an ''investment''' ever agai #also it should be illegal to tear down perfectly fine small cheap homes to build giant mcmansion bullshit #buy empty lots or fuck off i hate that i'm competing with downsizing boomers for our first fucking home while ''inventory'' shrinks #and if i get a single message trying to explain how it's ok bc free market and economics i will find you and i will light your home on fire #free market your way out of that bitch
