one of many reasons why homes are so expensive now, government wont allow inexpensive homes to be built anymore.
One of the tenets of freedom is the right to own property. These actions take away that freedom.
There's no 'right' to own property - there's opportunity to own property and that pervert Biden is destroying that opportunity for young people.
Destroying the American dream
Otherwise known as “Hope and Change” (2008)
And Boosh joined right up with him; along with Bill and Hillary.
“One of the tenets of freedom is the right to own property.”
Then we have not had freedom for a long time. You’re only renting your property from the government in the form of property taxes.
I’ve said that for years that property tax is the ‘vig’ you give the government (organized crime) to keep what you’ve legally bought.

Yet another abject failure of our Constitution, property taxes hand-in-hand (& in DIRECT conflict) w/ our founding [How can govt tax that which is ‘owned’, let alone confiscate for failure to pay said tax(es) w/o violating the 5th A. directly].

Except that one does not OWN property in reality (what happens the tax man is denied?)
Course, not a single PEEP from the (R)N(C)-wing of the Uniparty in:
1) Lowering taxes
2) Abolishing that which should not exist to begin (HUD)
a/o
3) Reducing GOVT in the slightest, saving People’s Rights AND $$ (”smaller govt” finally died during 2016 election)
There is no right to own property. There is a right to be secure in one's rightfully owned property. See the 7th Commandment.
LOL. Rip Robert Palmer. He has been dead for ~20 years or so.
All data is regional and Zillow Zestimates are a lagging indicator, but what I’m seeing in Denver metro are frequently more “comp killers”. That’s my own term for fully renovated listings at or near the price of fixers in the area. Home prices are coming down here.
The American dream is now living in your parents basement and playing video games.
Foreigners are buying up houses, because they still think the US is a safe haven.
It’s also because now real estate is looked upon more as an “Investment” than as a place to live.
Inexpensive homes don’t make as much money for the bureaucracy in property tax states.
Although in Upstate NY, we know folks who are paying in the mid to high four figures for older existing homes around 2,000 sq ft that AIN’T McMansions.
And the folks selling are having to sell for less than assessed value.
if cities would allow homes to be built like they were in the 50’s
No insulation, no central air or heat, no appliances, on blocks instead of foundations, and various other things, affordable homes could still be built anyplace the lots are not too much
The other problem is that where you can find affordable homes, they are not in safe areas.
