WAGES DID NOT KEEP UP WITH INFLATION.

Houses are definitely more expensive now but it also depends where you live

DO NOT IGNORE THIS.

no, but they did keep up with a doubling in the workforce

Muh dick gets inflated when i see a hot girl

whats the size of those houses?

Inflation confirmed

There's less land, so the value of a house increases

i'm only seeing prices

"less land"

I don't think you understand what's actually going on.

China is buying houses here like a motherfucker.

Demand is up, but the people buying aren't local.

the why doesn't actually matter to scribs argument.

CHYNA

buying houses where?

the fact it is expensive is the point of scribs argument

There is less land that can be developped into housing

Because previous land has already been converted to housing

and that it hard to call younger people spoiled when our parents had to spend half as much on a house

theres actually plenty of land

Just not in Cali or NY

Therefore less land avaulable

I can buy a big house in Kansas for 80k

true

Grenade is on the ball.

there is plenty of cheap land....where peopel don't want to be

Oh in KANSAS. Well then.

try alaska

Why didn't you say so. The solution to all americans is Kansa.

LETSA-GOOOOO~~~~!

I'm not saying there is NO land available but there is LESS land available

If you want to live in a few major cities everyone else wants to

There's... so much land out there.

demand will be high and prices will be high

It's the most trivial part of the argument.

too many people

There's also a lot more regulations in building a house, which increases the cost. Some of these regulations are for good reasons like building a good working house, and some are for less important reasons like aesthetics.

Not sure i can agree that the current generation is not spoiled, when little over 100 years ago

People sold everything they had and traveled north to try and find gold in Alaska

and the current generation complains it can't find a house in a state they like

Dude, I'm supporting your argument but okay

You want what everyone else wants, its going to cost you

there is another problem, with the bubble in 2008, demand to build houses dropped, so less houses were built. now people can afford to get a house, but there are not enough houses. so cost of existing houses is going up
