Poors who never owned anything and will never do cry at the world
OP
What the frick is the end goal in all of this economic turmoil?
The car market is fricked; The housing market is fricked; Food prices are insane. Our salaries haven't changed. It's demoralizing to see Redditors who have houses talk about how great it is and that the housing market is never going to come back down. I don't think the car market will ever return to normal and I wouldn't doubt the housing market is the same way. But the price of a house and the salary of the average American is a large chasm.
Even in small, LCOL areas, I've seen people talk about corporations buying houses and driving up the prices. I'm beginning to see talks of entire neighborhoods of houses that are only for rent. Not rent to own. In theory, you shouldn't buy a house that is more than 3x your annual income. So a single person making $50kish a year has to find a house for $150k but where is that happening? I live in a low income, high crime area and the house I'm in is appraised at $175k so I can't afford to purchase the house I'm in.
I spend a lot of time wondering why I'm back in school, what's the purpose when most of my working life will be spent paying bills and putting the rest into a retirement fund that I likely will never use. With my prospective and current salaries, I won't have money to vacation, get a new car, etc. What's the point of all this then?
To get back to my title, what the frick is the end goal in this economic turmoil? 75% of us being homeless and living outside while corporations hoard houses? Moving to a new country likely won't help because I see many people in various countries talk about having the same issues.
The poor will start a war with each other rather than coming together to fight the rich.
Finally someone with some sense.
You will own nothing. You will live in the pod. You will eat the bug. And you will be happy.

That's the funniest thing about all this moaning over food prices in the US: the poorest people are by far the fattest, clearly there is no cost issue regarding food.

Lol he's not entirely wrong. I didn't realize just how widespread of an issue this was until I entered the home ownership stage of my life recently. I live near the boundary in a new development and judging from the signs it felt like a third of the houses just to the end of my road were bought up by this single investment firm and flipped. Now I get to deal with ratchet renters who don't give a frick what their lawns look like and leave dogshit everywhere.
You have to be a special kind of r-slur to willingly want to spend that much on rent too. I looked up what they're charging and it's generally almost 800 more than my mortgage + property taxes, some even up to +1200 which is insane to me. Even IF they cover maintenance and utilities, there's no fricking way that makes up for the difference. Why not just live frugally for a bit then actually put a downpayment on another house being built if ur gonna piss away that much cash? I'm seriously considering pooling money with friends and getting into the real estate grift so I can make money off poors that make dumb financial decisions like this.

The overwhelming majority of houses in the US are owned by individual owners and not corporations and it's not even remotely close.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Sorta? I was curious about this when I moved in and iirc like 70% of "properties" are owned by individuals in the US, but when you take into account apartments and duplex conversions or multi family homes, corps own around 50% of "all rentals" in the US. I wouldn't say that's "not remotely close". When I went to the community BBQ I met 2 boomers who bought up multiple properties and they were talking about their friend that did it too (there's about 3000 new houses being built in this area) so while it's not entirely corporations, it's still very widespread.
Edit: sorry I misunderstood. I thought you meant rentals in general. I just looked that number up and it's still 35% of the population, probably skewed even higher to younger people, which is pretty significant.

The housing prices have only become particularly bad during the last year or two.
I had a friend who works at a pizza place buy a home during covid before the interest rates went nuts.

He should tip his landlord extra this year for providing him housing he couldn't otherwise afford.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
I have no idea where he got that 3x your salary rule of thumb but it DEFINITELY doesn't apply when you're renting the exact same home because you're obviously paying way more than the mortgage costs anyways.
You're just too financially r-slurred to save up a down payment.

Not only is it a common rule of thumb, but many larger rental firms require proof of income of 2.5x or 3x rent as part of the background check/application process.

I think you're confused, i'm talking about buying.
If he's making 2.5x or 3x the rent then he can definitely afford the mortgage payment if it was a normal interest rate year and wasn't a wacky market rn

My pmi is basically nothing, like 60$ a month or something, and when I bought my place they said they'd done stuff for 3% down payment (might be misremembering this idk was a while ago)

Iirc rules got much more stringent after 2008. Not sure when you bought. That sounds awfully low for pmi though unless the loan amount is similarly small.

The government is going to have to do something about housing. People are hysterical about it and I think the hysterical people are underestimating how had it is.
The whole "let corpos use zero interest capital to buy up large swathes of the housing market and make them only available for rent" was amongst the most r-slurred things the government has ever done.
I'd say "let the market handle it" but as we've seen time and time again current homeowners are winning these disputes constantly - the corpos and homeowners rabidly oppose construction of new housing.
I think there's huge political gains to he made on housing as a single issue. The issue is the big money interests are spending a shitload of money to suppress the housing outrage.
