I read not long ago that like a third of houses purchased in the US today are never occupied by the purchasing entity. That’s an insane number.
:mao-aggro-shining:
The average housing budget for out-of-towners moving to Nashville was $720K, ~50% higher than locals’ $485K budget. It used to be coastal elites who worried that every adult in the family had to win a career lottery, just to afford a home. Now that feeling may spread.
That is fucking horrifying.
fully expect to never afford a house in my life. maybe one day I’ll just take one over with the comrades but I’ll never afford one.
