We don’t need more buildings stupid. There are millions of empty homes right now. There are more empty homes than there are homeless people. Also how would anyone afford them when he puts an at least 10% tax on everything that people buy? Cause news flash, those companies don’t foot the bill, they pass it on to the consumer, and then domestic companies match those prices.

$75,480 in the last seven years.

And we all know by now that U.S. corporations get away with whatever they can to boost profits. They make foods that contain toxins and carcinogens, clothing with plastics and toxins, they pollute our waters and planet and oceans. In the 80’s, plastics companies hired a PR firm to specifically convince people to take ownership of disposing of plastics with recycling so that they would not be held accountable. It never ends and our government won’t stop them, besides, Hunter’s laptop is so much more important.

You do realize that land has an inelastic supply, right?? And while there is some elasticity in demand of how much land one means everybody needs some access to land to live. It’s not like most other products and services.
“The rent of land, therefore, considered as the price paid for the use of the land, is naturally a monopoly price. It is not at all proportioned to what the landlord may have laid out upon the improvement of the land, or to what he can afford to take; but to what the farmer can afford to give.” — Adam Smith, An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, Book I, Chapter XI “Of the Rent of Land”

Here’s one of the dictionary definitions of the word “Luxury”:

Affordable housing should be one of the government’s responsibilities, or at least legislating against corporations turning it into a for-profit industry!

Simple answer: large investment groups and corporations are using baby boomers’ & gen x retirement funds to strangle or create faux demand on the housing market causing rent to increase and overall house market prices.
To add: investment groups that manage and control federal retirement accounts also got the green light, with a change in the law, to redirect ret funds to sectors that were once off limits due to volatility.

The real issue is lack of construction of new homes. They could make all new homes luxury and if there is enough of them the price still goes down regardless. In 1975 the % of new homes built that were ‘starter homes’ (1400 sq. ft or less) was 40%. Today that number is just 7%.

Maybe there are too many people in the places people want to be? I imagine lots of new immigrants go to desirable wanting to find opportunities, but it’s them plus 10s of thousands of others trying to do the same thing in the same place. All while there is already people living there.
As a New Yorker, you aren’t competing to get a good place against other New Yorkers, you’re competing with the entire world to live in that city, and some of them are more desperate or more wealthy than you. Same with LA, SF, Seattle, etc. places like Dallas or Houston will just keep cranking out R1 single family suburbs because they have the land…for now.

In Economics terms, Housing an Inelastic Good. Demand doesn’t change with cost because it is tied to human survival. Like food, water, healthcare, etc. There is no price we won’t pay to live. They would jack the prices more if they can, but they need to manufacture consent, otherwise the people tend to rise up.
This is why companies in these sectors will look for any excuse and beat that drum, even if it doesn’t make sense as long as it gives an good enough excuse for the majority to give consent. Like when minimum wage increases are voted in and restaurants will raise prices immediately, even if it doesn’t go into effect for years. It just has to sound convincing to most of us and, let’s be frank… most of us are rubes.

Before I moved in with my parents my salary had increased 1% while my rent was going to increase 10%
At 30 I could no longer afford living alone like I had been for years.

So, supply is low and, after an invasion of “migrants” , demand is very, very high. Wow, almost like the whole thing was planned. Makes skeptical folk go “Hmmm”. Just say’en…IMHO….

When you import tons of people every year and don’t build that many houses the amount of people competing for houses drives up the price and if I can hire an immigrant who just got here for less I will

More luxury housing is being built because of rent control and subsidized housing. The material costs are higher on low income housing, because construction companies lose money due to the regulations. If we really wanted more low income housing, we should make it cheaper to build low income housing.

Leftists in the comments, if corporations are greedy, then they’ve always been greedy. You can’t explain a novel phenomenon or trend on the basis of a universal constant. Prices have been skyrocketing since we went off the gold standard with Nixon in the 70s. Research the banking system and fiat currency, and lay off the lazy pinko reasoning.

She also forgets to mention that as high as even low rents are. Nobody wants low income renters on average because they tend to default and take bad care of the property plus all the cities with overprotective tenant laws. So we come into a culture now where people either only want to deal with people through Airbnb or by raising rents, you slowly attract a level of clientele that you can atleast delude yourself into thinking will be better tenant

Corporations buy up homes because they’re going up in value in the first place. The fundamental cause is really simple: The rate of homes being built is not rising in line with population. Just cut housing regulations and more homes will be built.
Frankly, not mentioning what is by far the largest factor in a video about rising housing prices is beyond negligent.

It actually just comes down to leverage for both your salary and the rent. The landlords know you need a place to live in so you’ll pay it when they raise the rent. Your job knows that you need a job and probably won’t leave so they won’t raise your salary.
