though I would agree with you, why does covid create a shortage in housing and reccord housing prices and a V shaped recovery 2 months into a 1 year shut in? I guess if the low interest rates are why.

So I suppose this is the state of the union: a bunch of rich people holding bags of money think because of interest rates now is a good time to buy a new home..

..meanwhile we're circling the greatest unemployment numbers in since the depression and a min wage everyone has been saying was too low to live on for the last 20 years and a horizon of hyperinflation.

I hope I am wrong because I'm just a cog in this machine, but the future sure seems suspect to me [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
