EARLY ACCESS: The Real Reason Housing Is So Expensive

Howdy, friends! It probably won't surprise anyone that housing in the US is absurdly expensive - both on the renting and owning side. From homes costing a nickel and seven strawberries in your grandpappy's time to sucking up over 40% of monthly income today, housing is only becoming incredibly unaffordable. What's going on here? Let's take a look at why housing is so expensive. Hope you enjoy!

Joined MeansTV based on the ad in this video, and while the content is good, beware that their marketing department is worse than most capitalists. You'll be getting a constant stream of emails about channels you don't particularly care about, and despite submitting unsubscribe requests they just keep pouring in...

10/10/2024 Israel has detained American Grayzone journalist Jeremy Loffredo while he was on assignment in Israel. According to social media posts, Loffredo was detained on Tuesday along with four other journalists who were “beaten, blindfolded, and taken to an Israeli military base.” They also had their phones confiscated. Loffredo remains in custody, while the others, including Andrey X, were released 11 hours later. https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20241010-israel-detains-us-journalist-reporting-on-damage-to-its-military-bases/

I spend a minimum of 65% of my income on rent for a small out of date apartment (depending on the tip pool).

Our mortgages are sold to investors all over the world?! That's truely evil.

There's no mention either of the HOA which is 20% of my mortgage rate. I may spend 40% of my income on mortgage, but another 10% of my income goes to fucking HOA fees which... I don't see the benefit of... No gym, no pool, but boy do they cut our lawns well once a month...

By far the most depressing and enraging video I have seen from you. I literally want to go on a killing spree now.

The billionaire CEO of the rent management company for my building literally runs a game show where he hangs out celebrities and has us tenants compete for the extremely remote possibility of one free month of rent. In case y’all needed any more anecdotes about how super cool our housing system is.

Can't wait to watch this tomorrow. All of the constant stress from Louisiana politics has me exhausted. On a dark note, as much as we pay for homes, these Conservatives are determined to raise our property taxes and completely ruin our lives. Total. freaking. nightmare.

Australia is suffering the same issues and our politicians blame immigration

Because of the horrible economic status and poor recovery from the crash

Strong Towns has also done an excellent video about the suburbs titled 'The Growth Ponzi Scheme' that lays out why housing is so expensive and why cities can't afford to fix the problem by building more suburban housing.

Could you work to get Hakim, Yugopnik, and the Deprogram all on MeansTV?
