    Depends on where you’re looking to buy. I live in CA and buy in the midwest. My suggestion to anyone is buy where you can afford to buy, and buy as much as you can afford. Most if not all of the housing crisis is along the west coast and north east US. Midwest and Southern US are still relatively affordable.

    We need constant rent control

  3. @MarkBerenger

    April 4, 2024 at 3:08 pm

    These corporations and groups are not just buying houses at market value, they’re using their combined resources to outbid ANYONE who can afford to buy them legitimately. It’s not a fair tactic and this requires govt action, not just building more houses for them to control.
    Corresponding high RENT is also keeping people broke and on the verge of homelessness, not just the people who own a house already.

    Literally stopped watching in the first 20 seconds. This “expert” is showing a debunked chart that adjusted income for inflation but did not adjust rent for inflation. Couldnt even fact check the first 20 seconds.

    The policy question being answered with, “We just need more supply” doesn’t answer the question. We are partly in a housing shortage because of the incentive for people to buy up single family homes and turn them into air b&b’s or Corperate rentals. If you add 10 houses to the market but people with deep pockets buy up 8 of them, you end up with 2.

    Adding to the supply is only half the answer. We need to remove the incentive for owning multiple single family homes with a sliding tax scale. No one should own 100 single family homes unless they are heavily taxed which can be then fed into public housing like Vienna or at the very least New York to give unhoused a bed/shelter.

  10. @chouz313

    April 4, 2024 at 4:02 pm

    She didn’t really explain why is gentrification is always bad, neighbors changing is bad? I don’t see it how there’s not a lot of upsides too – hence why it happens and a lot of people are happy to live in these areas. Sounds squarely debatable

  11. @BadassRaiden

    April 4, 2024 at 4:03 pm

    I agree with almost everything she said, with the exception of one little detail. The prices of housing across the country, like ANY price for ANYTHING has literally nothing to do with supply and demand. Supply and demand is a complete and total lie that we were all taught in school. The ONLY reason the price of ANYTHING goes up, is because the capitalist that maintains the profits for that particular product or service wants more money. That’s literally it.

  12. @user-mb9fh4jb1u

    April 4, 2024 at 4:23 pm

    Wait, no mention of exclusionary zoning, urban sprawl and the American addiction w single family homes?

  13. @IINoirII

    April 4, 2024 at 4:32 pm

    Can we just declare housing as a basic human right and make prices affordable regardless of any ecomomical factors?

  14. @rathelmmc3194

    April 4, 2024 at 4:47 pm

    How was what she said about gentrification bad? Investors are making areas nicer and that’s a negative? Or are we supposed to just leave slumlord buildings alone?

  15. @PedroGonzalez-fv5ut

    April 4, 2024 at 5:09 pm

    The squatter rights part doesn’t sound right. There has been cases of people leaving for a particularly long vacation or military guys deployed for a year or so and come back to a squatter in their house that they can’t kick out.

  16. @aarontillery6557

    April 4, 2024 at 5:48 pm

    1. Get corporations OUT OF HOUSING. It’s a place to live, NOT a commodity.
    2. Fix zoning for mixed use and allow density so the free market can fix things.
    3. Tax the crap out of anyone who owns more than two houses.

  23. @iaeurhgqieurhgp

    April 4, 2024 at 8:37 pm

    We have a housing shortage because we make it illegal or very difficult to build new housing where there’s demand for it. The solution is to stop doing that.

    CA and NY have the most unhoused, but also the most people overall… per capita, their rates of homelessness are only slightly higher than average.

    “Unhoused” I see George Carlin’s bit on soft language has only gotten worse since he did it.

  28. @lukel2359

    April 5, 2024 at 8:49 am

    Unfortunately a lot of the information in this video is wrong. The problem is not luxury housing or corporate landlords. The problem is a lack of housing supply. Who is to blame for the lack of supply? It is actually a small group of homeowners who have organized to prevent new development via restrictive zoning laws. When it’s illegal to build housing, there will not be enough supply – and the cost of housing will go up.

  29. @SB-ed4gz

    April 5, 2024 at 9:08 am

    Thanks for the video. Now I have good reason not to buy a house and I’m gonna blame Biden for not taking charge of this crisis

    Lot of Woke BS in this video. Try harder to give facts next time and less storytelling on your narratives.

  45. @johnflorance4356

    April 5, 2024 at 3:43 pm

    Huge fallacy that financialization is pushing up housing prices. RE has always been an asset class for investors of all sizes. The only difference now is local governments have made new supply impossible and that increases the ability for landlords and sellers to charge more. Housing is a commodity, the only things affecting prices are supply and demand and no serious economist will say otherwise.

    Social housing won’t fix this unless the government starts building heaps of homes where housing is in demand.

  46. @marisasomer5184

    Lmfao BlackRock says on their own website “our focus is on building single family rental housing that can be managed and operated similar to multifamily properties.”
    The building is taking up space. The plot is taken.
    This is literally the opposite of what this lady is claiming. BlackRock is absolutely taking single family and suburban housing space and making it rental single family homes owned and operated by them.

    Why lie?

    I actually lived in Vienna for 1 year in 3 different rentals…trust me, you don’t want their model unless your only goal is to fight homelessness. I think a much easier solution is inttoduce a federal property tax and limit rent increases to CPI. You need to make it unattractive for corporations to own real estate as an investment!!!

    April 6, 2024 at 4:42 pm

    I like how this timeline directly correlates with the dismantling of the Glass-Steagall Act. There’s a reason why the housing crash also correlated with a banking crash, the whole shadow bank debacle.

    Corporations are wildly and recklessly throwing borrowed money around when it comes to real estate. This overinflates the prices of these properties because “who cares! You can just take whatever loan out that you want.”

  66. @XFizzlepop-Berrytwist

    So basically some of these things cant be turned into living spaces because of bad laws, go figure.

    10:00 I’m a big believer that Property taxes are actually the biggest cause of homelessness, if not at least a big reason.

    My dad was talking the other day about how he was so proud to have bought a house by his early 30’s (in 1999), and I’m like yeah and you were making 60k with a union job, you had a VA loan so no down payment required, and the house cost $90k. I make $50k a year (no union) and houses are at least $450k. Wages are not increasing significantly but housing costs have quintupled. I have to pay double what he paid for a 4 bedroom house to rent a 1 bedroom apartment. We need a massive overhaul of the housing system

    April 7, 2024 at 7:45 am

    As someone who’s lived homeless; I would rather live in an imperfectly configured office space than to not have these spaces used because they need to meet such specific code requirements. I think most would choose a roof over their heads than a bedroom opening window. But that’s just my perspective.

  88. @jayreed9370

    April 7, 2024 at 7:48 am

    There should be massively more public housing all over the nation. The private sector will never build us out of expensive housing…they WANT it to be expensive. We need market participants who don’t have the profit motive.

  89. @devon4541

    April 7, 2024 at 7:58 am

    The most problematic thing is that this “professor” doesn’t explain trade offs. Gentrification is always bad is a horrible thing for a professor to say. They should present facts, not their opinion. She proceeds to present two facts as the cons but basically indicates there is no pro. An increase in the value of the neighborhood usually helps businesses and existing homeowners in that area.

  93. @9xqspx6

    April 7, 2024 at 4:50 pm

    I find it odd how easily people are hating on big corporations for buying up housing and blaming them for the lack of affordable housing, yet not realizing that affordable housing is something the government should be taking care of! And not by kicking others (f.e. corporations and landlords) in the balls, but by building affordable housing themselves! There is soooo much money collected in taxes! It should be put to good use!
    I’m not protecting corporations by any means, but trying to shine a light at the real issue. Corporations are for-profit organizations, the government should not be! The government is using everyone’s money, supposedly for everyone’s benefit – meaning not for their own benefit!

  94. @9xqspx6

    An additional answer to the corporation question is to control and eventually enslave the populace. Once someone can no longer afford rent they will be shuffled into areas with cheaper rent, aka “containment areas” subsidized by you know who, and 1984 will be another step closer to full reality.

    Gentrification is (mostly) caused by the fact the new public transportation isn’t being built in additional areas. People want to live near pubic transportation so they move into the neighborhoods that have it. Anyone who complains about gentrification should really be complaining about complete and total dis-investment in public transit.

    Should have a limit on how much land any single entity, whether personal or corporation, can own.

    This is one of the major problems with South Africa – not enough opportunity for private property ownership. Without private property ownership, our capitalist system collapses.

    One of the few purviews of the government is to break up monopolies. One can argue that too much land ownership is a monopoly.

    Rent goes up because of free market and regulatory factors that increase the relative value of real estate. Your salary doesn’t go up because you haven’t increased your value. If you had – you wouldn’t be asking the question. Increase your value. Invest in yourself and your marketability. Stop whining.

    Whoever is interested, find info about Atticus Le Blanc – he’s solving affordable housing crisis for America in the root, all via free market economics!

    In short: ask your local government lifting of zoning restrictions and local regulations. You’ll see thousands of new, cheaper apartments built within a couple years.

    Housing supply and demand have been crazy the past few years. In 2020, my husband and I both happened to be full-time essential workers. Houses were at super low prices at the time because most people were selling. We basically bought a nice house that summer at a discount price. In 2023, we watched the Zillow estimate of our house _double_ in value. We played with the idea of selling to rake in the profits for a minute, but we realized that our current mortgage and interest rate are currently incredibly low. In the long run, we would save a ton of money by staying put.

    She mentions supply issues, but goes out of her way to not draw a line to the biggest issue in supply, which is regulations that make building difficult.

    BlackRock is investing approximately $120 billion in the U.S. residential real estate market on behalf of its clients.

    Globally, BlackRock has invested over $160 billion in real estate. This includes investments in a variety of real estate assets, such as office buildings, apartments, shopping centers, and industrial properties.

    As of 2021, the firm owned over 250 million square feet of commercial space worldwide valued at over $30 billion.

      If Black Rock continues to dominate the housing markets all over the world and continues to raise rents the renters will have to live in their vehicles; or they’ll have to live in tents in ten encampments with dozens of other homeless people.

    The question for me is not merely that ‘luxury’ units are being built and allegedly 4 million people are what, homeless or living with grandma, but why those who explain these things can be so naive and uninformed regarding facts and causation? Rising Sea Levels? Are you kidding me? There has been no discernible rise in hundreds of years proven via measurements and photos of coastlines, piers and seal level metrics. This is an economic agenda and you discuss this with a serious face? Moving on….  

    This entire video is about stating the problem and claiming causes for these issues but nowhere are there solutions posed. You casually cover elderly becoming sick and losing their house? Nowhere else in the world are people treated so poorly. Don’t get old or sick in the USA right given that a lifetime of savings will not be enough. You do not cover the causes of this sub-Human crisis at all!ANd rather than speaking profit, what’s the socio-political reason that mega-corporations are buying up America? You simply cannot gloss over these critical topics… 

    2008….6 million lost their homes? 13-18 million lost their homes. As many as 50% of Architects and Interior Designers and Contractors had to change jobs to get by… Squatters based on 10 years of residency and maintenance? You haven’t investigated the State of Washington where a friend can stay at your house for a week while visiting and legally refuse to leave. Simply too many inaccurate details to take this ivory tower research seriously!

    The real question now that no one is answering is who is paying on the high end? When apartments in NYC are going for 7k, 12k, even 23k a month it affects every tenant that pays at lower tiers. Who is really paying the rents at ridiculous levels most of us simply cannot afford even if we paid more than 50% of pretax income.

  241. @JackiJinx

    April 13, 2024 at 7:55 pm

    THANK YOU for talking on this! I had the very scary decision of scrambling where to live when my rent jacked up by $400 and told only within a 3 month timeframe. $1700 for a studio apartment that is barely larger than the bedroom I grew up in is insane, and I wasn’t even living in NYC! I was in much further upstate NY! Any place that I could afford kept getting grabbed up or had an insane wait list of over a year! I got placed on a few of those wait lists, and it’s been over a year now with no calls. Had to make the difficult decision to move much further away in order to be able to afford a normal life, and I’m just thankful I had the money to move after not finding a place I could afford to live just two years prior. It’s quite funny to see the number of Air BnBs that would’ve been somewhat in price range and I honestly contemplated for a time getting a storage locker and living out in one of those while I sorted my affairs, but I will *never* give my money to any of those owners with how they (not they alone but still) helped people like me not find homes in our communities we grew up in.

    People dont realize how expensive owning a house is. They think i pay x in rent why cant i get a mortgage foe the same amount? A house isnt just a monthly payment. 1/3 of americans say they canr cover a 500 dollar emergemcy out of pocket. Taxes hit teice a year and are usually well over 1000 dollars, renters is only a few bucls a month, homeowners is over a thousand. So thats 3 sudden bills hitting in the year. The water heater blows thats another bill, the roof goes out ect ect. Banks look at more than just can you pay the bill every month its also can you afford all of these AND pay the mortgage wvery month. Rent goes up so fast people cant get a down payment together and get stuck in the cycle. Fk landlords. Citys and towns should set a max landlords can charge per square foot

      The stock market is no different, to maintain profit you need to have some in-depth knowledge on the market. I mostly just buy and hold stocks, but my portfolio has been mostly in the red for quite awhile now. Unfortunately to be able to make good gains, you’ll need to be consistent and restructure your portfolio frequently.

    The whole talk about “reverse” market crash (real estate and stock market) basically argues that we are nowhere near done with inflation and that we might actually experience “hyperinflation” in the near future combined with accelerating poverty levels across the nation or going thru a historical economic depression…those are the extreme conditions that have produced the reverse market crashes in most examples I’ve seen. I personally don’t see anything that extreme coming, but who knows.
