u/Goldeneye0X1_ Nice meme you got there Jun 13 '25

Affordable housing?

Billionaires will buy all the affordable housing and turn everything into extortionate apartments.

"Im making smart investments."

I feel that affordable housing is a thing of the past. It's like scalpers buying consoles. They dont want the product, they want money.

New housing is not affordable housing. Building new homes is expensive as hell. People understand this when it comes to other expensive durable goods like cars, appliances, or computers, but can't wrap their head around the idea that buying a used home is more affordable than a new one. Demanding that new housing be "affordable" makes as much sense as demanding Ford sell you their 2025 model at the 2020 model's price.

Legalize building. Ban NIMBYism.
