"Yet the biggest hurdles for home ownership seem to be amassing the down payment and dealing with a mortgage that may be more than $2,000 a month thanks to increased interest rates." Actually the biggest hurdle is actually OWNING your home if you "pay" it off free and clear. For one thing, you will never own it. You will RENT it at an amount that the local TAXING authorities decide what you will rent it for. In a communist country it is called rent, here we call it property taxes. Don't pay them and YOU will find out who owns your home. The other dilemma is this...you can't pay off a debt with a debt. ALL of the federal reserve notes you "earned" and used to "pay" for your home is an instrument of debt. Legally, (not lawfully as it is constructive fraud) the FEDERAL RESERVE owns your home.
And to get started on a real understanding of where we are as a nation when it comes to the CONSTRUCTIVE FRAUD that has been perpetrated on us, this is a good start...
While you are technically correct, the amount of property tax one pays is quite modest compared to the price of a house. Just one of my mortgage payments over the year would cover my property tax.
So let's work this one step at a time and not discuss the never-ending treadmill we're all setting foot on.
Kind of like the way they used one step at a time to instill the 1st plank into our system of governance along with the other NINE? I’m not only “technically correct” Michael. I’m CORRECT. Period. PROVE ME WRONG. You may “believe” what you want, but reality is in your FACE with this post. https://www.courageouslion.us/p/communism-american-style
"You need to understand that socialism leads to communism and New World Orderism, It's a subversive PLAN to undermine and destroy Freedom, Democracy, Self Determination, Property Rights, Inheritance Rights, Privacy, and the Pursuit of Happiness in America."
Now what I didn't see is your plan to do something about it. That reads to me as complaining rather than defending: surprising because you don't strike me as the chains resting lightly sort.
But the way I see this is, if we have any scrap of the Rule of Law left, one can own property. We have a claim to something that is ours, even with the pound of flesh the government takes away. And until the government comes and takes all these things from us by force - which they won't because they're too chickenshit to go house to house to take these things - we still have them.
And until they kill me, they can't keep me from pursuing happiness. If the young folks want to pursue happiness by buying a house, let's help them out where we can.
Pittsburgh was divided into very ethnic neighborhoods. The one we lived in was Polish Hill. Houses were mostly attached row houses, built probably back in the 20's or 30's. You could get one for maybe $20 - $40,000. That was 20+ years ago. Then, the yuppies discovered how close P Hill was to Downtown Pgh and you could jump on a bus and be at work in 5 -10 minutes. The prices skyrocketed! Friggin frame rowhouses were going for $300 to $400,000 before upgrade! They would gut them and remodel them. Now the price has trailed off and the houses left that weren't remodeled are going for $100 - $200,000.
I'm in the Dallas market, specifically far north suburb, $3/4 million 27,000 feet and up, the only single dwelling is a brand new build on PGA Pkwy, tiny cottage starting at $2,500.00/mo, lease only, Thanks Blackstone

Airbnb is taking over many cities as well and nobody cares
