Is the American Dream of owning an affordable home now out of reach? The vast land availability in the U.S., a cornerstone of the American Dream, once spurred the government and home builders into extensive collaboration to boost housing. This relationship has evolved dramatically over time. Today, restrictive regulations aimed at environmental protection and community control over local governments have inadvertently led to a cumbersome building process. These government regulations have created significant hurdles in housing development, contributing to a severe home affordability crisis across the nation. This video explores how both political parties have struggled to address these challenges, leaving many Americans questioning the feasibility of homeownership. Join the discussion on how government policies have reshaped the pursuit of the American Dream and what it means for future homeowners.

I stopped to make a comment about the zoning thing. In the city I worked in for decades, there was some 'low rent housing' downtown almost on the waterfront. Somehow they determined that the ground was polluted.. So they forced all the residents out and bulldozed the property, saying that they had to do a cleanup and eventually would rebuild the affordable housing. So at least a decade goes by. The property is starting to be developed.. But now, it's developed into fancy very expensive single family homes... those people that were relocated were long forgotten. I wonder if this is what happened to that property?

Your video supplies a collection of facts that support the theory, "We go from one mistake to the next and call it progress." A problem fixed today may create a problem to be fixed in the future. In 1981 mortgage rates peaked at 16%. 40 years later, they dropped to 3% in 2021. In 1981, there were 229 million people living in the USA. In 2021, there were 332 million people living in the USA. The next question would be, "How many housing units were there in 1981 and 2021 divided into the population numbers?" Here are ideas that may defy logic. The baby boomers aged 65+ could sell their big family-friendly houses to younger people who need a big house to start a family. Deserted shopping centers could be zoned for Senior Housing that would be in a park-like setting. Builders could be encouraged to build a single-level house for less than 1,000 square feet for seniors. Just the basics. Thank you for opening the discussion.

I tell youngsters to use their energy to get a job that pays well and includes room and board. Save everything. Take that cash and get together with a friend to buy a house, then fill it with housemates or medium term renters. Eventually, if paid down and recast or refinanced for a lower payment they will be able to take over one of the bedrooms with a regular job. In the meantime, a bedroom can be lived in for a few weeks for fixing and cleaning purposes. An example of the jobs where you can save are: yacht work, live in nanny, oil field, merchant marine, trucker. I had a housemate who had just finished a summer server job where he camped free and in a double shift day made $1,000/ day in tips. I'd like to hear about other such jobs!

Under regulated appraisal process has alot to do with the affordability crisis. Banks stopped qualifying houses for a mortgage and focused more on qualifying the buyers. Comparables don't look at a houses actual value just how much the asking price compares to what other houses in the area are selling for. Banks should of been denying more mortgages when the physical value of the house didn't align with the asking price.

@ikreate4u Месяц назад

This would make sense. Unfortunately the banks are in it for MONEY so there is no benefit to them keep the gullible buyer from buying an overpriced house that they logically can’t afford then can simply foreclose on and then sell at the new inflated rate.l because they are covered by PMI and other government assistance .

This is not true for my area at all. Land prices are affordable in our area however, building prices are outrageous - yet builders are busy and booked 2 years out. WHY? Because there are tons of people moving from out of state and out of the area (from more expensive areas) bringing gobs of cash with them to build. Starter home prices went from $225k (in 2020) to now $340k while the median income still remains low for younger working families in the area. Building prices are averaging $300 a square foot (way out of my working-class budget).

Try pricing out the cost difference at a Lowe’s or Home Depot or builders supply of OSB (Oriented Strand Board the modern replacement to plywood) with or without radiant barrier and you will find it comes to probably a dollar per sheet difference these days. All that extra $10k or $6500 to $20k is nearly pure profit for the builder for something that the installation is exactly the same for and only costs them approximately $300 extra. I used to work in roofing and a lady at one of our suppliers bought a new house and the builder up charged her somewhere around that amount for the Radiant Barrier, she knew exactly what it was costing them and confronted them about it and said she wouldn’t pay that much for an upgrade that cost them so little, but her builder’s sales rep wouldn’t budge and so she paid it.

You do realize that it was homebuilders and the real estate industry that set the stage for the Great Recession. I did not see homebuilders nor the real estate industry be about changing the system. Like corporations builders and the industry only focused maximizing profits. The wiring for EVs is the same as the wiring the wiring for an electric dryer. In fact there are devices that has a switch that allows you to switch the power from the dryer to the EV. In our area we still have high school programs for trades. The number of kids that enroll in the is down dramatically. We were self builders. Back in 1998 instead of using 2x4s we used 2x6 for the outer walls. We used insulation with R23 insulation in the walls instead of R13. In 2005 we invested $8k in solar panels. The result, we have not had to pay an electric bill since 2005 and we pay an average of $50 per month for natural gas.Not bad for living in the Northeast. The energy savings have allowed us to build wealth faster.

I do have an opinion on the affordable home build thing. I live in a small city in NC. I can testify that if they approve and build a multi family housing project, it will most definitely draw people you would NOT want living near your neighborhood. There is a LOT of "affordable" building that is actually qualified for Sec 8 rental. Of course, not all those people are undesirable but the ones who genuinely do need a little help won't move there because of the ones who just take from the system. I love your viewpoint on almost everything, but that building here would drive down values. Guaranteed.

Where I live, rent is on average $1,800 per month for a studio or single, $2,100 per month for a two bedroom (even in low income or high crime neighborhoods) and yet our state’s minimum wage is $7.25/hour (same as federal). Average income is not that much better. We have people flooding into my state and fighting over owning and renting property.

@stuartsmith5146 Месяц назад

Just watched an interview with the creator of Mazda Miata. It was MADE to be modified. Housing can be affordable with original architect designs for future mods. The question of building efficiency into new housing is answered with the question of “How much will utilities rise in price”. I paid more in heating for a 800sqft apartment than an updated, 1952, 2500sqft house with two OG chimneys. If efficiency is built in, people can better survive in their homes - economic, not environmental.

@BrianBurwell Месяц назад

You mentioned a discrepancy between making energy efficient homes is between $6,000 from the government or $20,000 according to the "industry" (whatever that means). How much of that discrepancy is due to the "ideal' home to be built? I recall a recent video you put up taking about the size of the homes building built. If the government is saying making a 1,000 square foot home starter homes but the industry wants to build 3,000 square foot McMansions, that would about account for the discrepancy between the estimates. 1,000 square foot to 3,,000 square foot is three times the size; $6,000 to $20,000 is a little over three times the price. Sadly, that additional $2,000 is probably little more than the installer ripping off the buyer because the builder has a clause in the contract you have to use his people to install it.

@BrianBurwell Месяц назад

Addendum: Two (related ideas) to help with the prices of homes. First, a progressive property tax, probably just on the land. It will help deter single entities from buying up all land because it will actually become increasingly more difficult to turn a profit on buying additional land. In turn, it will create downward pressure on price, because the land owner needs to be able to attract tenants to justify having the land. This should encourage both higher density development and nicer amenities because the developers will be trying to strike the perfect balance to attract tenants. Second, phase out tax benefits for developers to discourage having one developer from taking over a market to encourage competition with people who want to build multi-family housing and allow single family housing to be built as well. I did think of a third thing: don't let a Russian nesting doll LLC buy land or receive any tax credits. If you can't go to the register of deeds and easily find the actual owner of a property, then it's likely something shady is going down. Likely, someone is trying to get around the law to unjustly benefit.

I don’t care if it’s institutional investors or mom and pop investors, the effect on the market is the same. So what if Blackrock owns 38k homes and an individual owns 19; inventory is being reduced. Better solution is for institutional and individual investors have to build NEW HOMES to rent them, this solves two problems. The only extra homes an individual can own is an existing property that is bequeathed to them. Ta Da 🤷‍♂️

My subdivision is not allowing anymore rentals. I f owned by an investor and rented, if that home sells to a new owner can no longer be rented. When the rental house nextdoor ( who by the way was a nightmare) moved and the house went up.for sale, we had to notify the HOA and they came and put a sticker on the door it could not be rented anymore. Problem is the neighbors have to notify the HOA and I dont think some are paying attention.

Though the government has made their mistakes and are part of the problem, but at what point are the people part of the problem as well? We want affordable housing but not in our neighbourhood. We want affordable housing but we also want to profit off of it as well. We want affordable housing, but it must have multiple bathrooms, two car garages, lots of land, etc. You don’t want government in your business, so what can you do on your own as a people to them out.

@bryantheora6741 Месяц назад

Its NOT about affordability, these products benefit a company. If they really care about affordable housing the materials already exist and addressing the root of the problem by just upping our building standards and making house less of a speculative investment vehicle would ABSOLUTELY make housing affordable.
