85% of the homes in the united states are own by investment groups.

That's the problem [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The top 10% of Americans made more wealth during the pandemic than the bottom 90% 4 times over.

Houses are expensive because 10% of americans (let alone foreign investment which makes up 15% of that 85%) can offer 4x the asking price and only 20% of america buys homes to live in them.

My caregiver wants to give me their house. I told them under absolutely any condition not to.

Reasons:
*it will get taken from me
*i cannot and therefore will not care for it

This is happening a lot.

The more corporations gain control and the more suffering trauma hardship hate and discord that can be sewn among eachother the easier it will be for globalist firms to gain even stronger dominions.

I want to be clear, that I am not complaining about my personal circumstances, I do not deserve property, or freedom, and suicide is my answer for when that time comes, God knows how I have practiced. I do not blame any of you.

I use these circumstances as a personally verifiable and honest way of illustrating how we are collectively enabling the collapse. This is the best that I can do for you. Give you this warning and pray it takes hold in higher places.

Everyone's house will burn down.

Stay strong. And heal thyself, so that you may care for others and in so doing so make not only yourself stronger, also your Nation, neighbor, and world.

This isn't really your problem. It is my family's problem. And none of my family really deserve what we have. I just don't want this to also happen to any of you guys.

God bless /\ and I am truly greatful that there are still those of you who can afford the luxury of a nice and secure home. /\

Is that true in a literal sense or are you referring to stock market garbage?

15% of homes are owned outright?

The others are mortgaged and/or otherwise had their debt packaged into investment securities?

With that said, you can not build a house cheaply right now, even if you do the work yourself. I am extremely well versed in construction costs, its basically all I do all day long for a very large home builder. 4x8 OSB is nearly 60 dollars a sheet. LVLs and LSLs are also outrageously expensive, along with any type of sheet metal, Vinyl material and decking. For perspecitve, when I built my house in WA back in 2016, 4x8 OSB was 5 bucks a sheet. At one point it spiked to $12 a sheet and everyone was losing their mind, now its 5 times the high that it was back then.

There is a housing shortage right now, as many people living in urban areas like NYC, Seattle, Portland, LA, etc etc are moving to more suburban and less crowded areas. Conservative states like Texas, Idaho and Utah are bursting at the seams with all the new people coming in, lot costs are skyrocketing because there is so little product on the market. The area I moved to has about 12 days of inventory.

Why are things so out of control right now? I would place the blame squarely on politicians shoulders that were in favor of a Covid shut down. This basically destroyed our economy, mills were shut down, production stopped for many many types of building materials. The 2nd part is, we have become so ridiculous with this idea of central planning when it comes to land use. Local governments have made it so difficult, if not impossible for developments to happen organically. I am currently involved in a land subdivision in WA state that is going on its 6th year of preconstruction entitlements and permitting. Its all complete bullshit, and a way for local governments to take control when it is absolutley screwing people over.

Its complete and utter bullshit. Anyone that is for this type of planning can go screw themselves. You are literally bankrupting the American people with your bullshit planning.
Yep I agree.

I actually think a lot of people are going to die soon though, that personal transportation is going to disappear, and basically Bill Gates is going to own all the arable land and everyone will be packed like sardines in the cities living a dystopian 1984 like nightmare. Some people will try to live in rural areas and be hunted by Bill Gates for fun. The concept of legal or illegal won't matter at that time.
