Well in China you could buy an apartment that should be built in a year but will never actually be built. That’s how you know China is better than America.
Thats a seperate issue, that is central banks and over regulation of the housing market. This has devalued your wages and made housing too expensive. And the sad part is BOTH of the parties support these things (if you are an american).
My husband and I bought ours in 2019, and I feel like we did so in the nick of time, and that’s with being on two programs and taking an additional loan for the down payment, and that’s because paying the mortgage was lower than renting an apartment at the time.
People can’t afford housing anymore. I feel guilty even owning a house because it’s gotten so bad (even though the bank technically owns this shit).
Buying a house was what pushed me from Bernie flavored socialist to full on leftist. We were lucky enough to find and qualify for a community land trust and it is such a better system than anything else in America. It should just be how housing is done available to everyone, not just people who qualify.
Oh don’t worry, we’ve got a lot of them here as well. I know a lot of good people too, but everyone is stretched so thin with work and trying to survive.
I have good credit but I cannot buy a house.

Don’t feel guilty! Congrats on the house. Enjoy it.
Thank you.
Same. Alternatively, turn that guilt into the drive to attend community meetings.
Yeah I’m pretty involved locally, although action is pretty limited here where I live in South Dakota
Bummer that sounds rough. I’m in New England so it’s mostly nattering neoliberal nimbys 🙄
