Gas prices from $3.20 to $5 a gallon, grocery from $120 to $150 a week . Homes from $300k to $500k. wages from $14 to $15. LOL

"It's called the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe in it" -- George Carlin

[klwarns]

It should be illegal what these wall street firms are doing. A handful of companies monopolizing basic needs should be included in antitrust law

[justmyopinion]

The tradition of children doing better financially than their parents is over...gone. We are living in a different reality now.
It's sad. My heart goes out to the young people just starting out.

[Ore]

We were prepared for a future that doesn't exist. I'm 35, work 50 hours a week and I can't even afford my rent half the time. This was not supposed to happen

[pollopesca]

We spent nearly a year throwing bids at houses. Usually, 3-4 properties a week. We were out bid every time by 60-70% above list price by corporate buyers aiming to turn them into rental properties. When every 150k property bids up to 250k, house hunting starts to feel like an effort in futility. We only managed to get lucky on our house because the seller would only deal with local banks to block the realestate vampires. These companies need to be reigned in or America is going to become rent only for the vast majority.

As a young person on their own trying to buy a house and not even trying to get the best thing out there, this is really depressing

[deathblade]

My neighbor did the right thing and sold to a family. Even though she got tons of all cash offers from investors .

[gretaberry]

Homes are so expensive, and yet made very cheaply. They used pressed wood and sheet rock.whatever happened too building a house with concrete, steel, solid wood, cement. Have you noticed how easily they’re tore apart from the weather. They used cheap material, and you paying a arm and leg for a home .

[Primalxbeast]

You know how you can tell which people in the US are middle class?
They're living in vans instead of tents.

[ryoknits]

This is why I always destroy signs that say “we pay cash for homes” like it’s my civic duty.

[megh]

It's a sobering moment when you realize that you have a better chance of dating Pete Davidson than owning a home.

[flowerchica]

As a millennial, I’ll count myself lucky if I can still afford my rent in the years to come.

[BurritoMassacre]

I'm tired of getting calls and texts about selling my house, a house that's not on the market. Two houses recently sold in my neighborhood, I searched county property records and both houses were bought by Zillow.

[cgfdind]

The best decision I ever made was buy my condo almost five years ago. It helped a lot when I was unemployed. My total housing cost is $245.25 a month.

[smasher]

Greed will ruin everything in this world. This is why so many people are mad. This is why everyone is so into politics because they hope their party will finally do what’s right and help the average citizens. But politicians are rich and will never do anything to stop the money they get

[snowytyler]

This is the epitome of greed. It’s so sad. We don’t have remotely any checks and balances.

[Autumn_Blessings]

They aren't just doing it to houses, but apartments too.
A property management company bought my apartment from my landlord and I'm terrified of what my rent is going to look like in June, or of being kicked out if they decide to tear down the building and build something else.

<Good Content! but I’ve been trying to diversify my portfolio of $460k for sometime now. What do you suggest? N/B I already have bitcoins>

[weenisw]

You forgot to mention restrictive zoning, lack of multi family housing construction for 75 years, and the car dependency fetish
