Finally! Soon I’ll be able to get that 3bed 0bath house I’ve been dreaming of
We need to expand community land trusts to ensure people have housing. Just going to copy and paste a previous comment since I was just talking about them in a thread about HOAs.
I live in a townhouse that is one of 30 on our lot. All of the houses are a part of a land trust program that owners have to qualify in order to buy, a minimum income set to ensure applicants can pay a mortgage and a maximum set by the average income of the city. The houses are sold at cost and buyers agree to sell at that cost, plus a small percentage of equity gain per year lived in the house. Property taxes are fixed to this valuation agreement so nobody in the program is forced out of their home from real estate bubbles.
If the program was expanded the bar to entry could be lifted. I had to hold off on a raise that I got while we were in the middle of the buying process to make sure I didn’t go over the cap, which is hilarious (sad) since we still struggle with my current income. Friends of ours missed out and moved out of state because they were a few paltry thousand over the cap, the work in restaurants and had they not declared their tips they would have had a house in the city they love.
A great start would be seizing these vulture’s properties that are compounding the problem.
This feels very aboringdystopia

Billionaires is a symptom of the illness.
And the poor are the cause.
Subscribe to life on Amazon Prime. One reason less to buy stuff from them this holiday season.
Kind of feels like these people have declared war on me but if I try and fight back, I’d be the bad guy.
Meanwhile the republicans want to remove the estate tax

Somebody should cross post this there.
So is this guy, like, the Devil? Every headline I see with him is like “Emperor Palpatine is buying single family homes” where I just assume it’s for some nefarious purpose that’s gonna benefit his regime and dick over a looooot of people.
I would take Grand Admiral Thrawn over this guy any day. I think.
To become a billionaire requires sociopath levels of compassion.
So is this guy, like, the Devil?
Well, he’s a billionaire, so basically yeah.
nefarious purpose
real talk: it’s stupid to hold cash, you need to buy assets, and assets generate cash flow. catch 22 the rich get richer.
Don’t worry, he will patent One Click Rent Payments… Making your life easier one house at a time.
Oh boy…
How the fuck does anyone even afford to buy a house now? Billionaires keep buying them all out just to rent them out, to buy more houses. It’s almost as bad as me trying to use a hula hoop.
I had some lucky timing with an inheritance. Also two software engineer’s salaries. Even then, it took a chunk out of our finances. We also got a bit lucky. The house was probably selling a little below its value and we got in right before the Fed really started pumping the brakes with interest rate increases.
Yes. Vicious circle for the plebeians and virtuous circle for the rich. The rich get richer, the poor (I’m including the middle class because it’s not like the 60s, 70s, 80s) get poorer.
