Housing is too cheap? Now that's a problem I'd like to have
57 1 ReplyI’m a homeowner and I support this message. Couldn’t afford the house I live in today and we only bought it 4 years ago.
18 0 ReplyAffordable housing is fantastic for everyone, but values of houses falling is kinda scary.
There's definitely a house of cards feeling in real estate in China, and if there were any sort of collapse it would be felt around the world.
As in any economic instability, the wealthy can consolidate their positions and the poors just get pushed further into the mud.

This really only hurts those that own more than one home. And to that I say, Fuck Em.

You wouldn't like it if you owned three houses and have all your savings invested in them
3 21 ReplyDiversify your investments is literally the first thing anybody learns about investment.
Also, let me cry for those poor rich people with still 3 houses left, they're going to end in poverty if it's worth less!

18 2 ReplyBoo hoo, I own one house and have all my savings in it. Go sell 2 of them and live in the 3rd, let someone else use them without needing a parasite middleman between them and housing.
