I know I'm supposed to want it to keep going up as a wealth generator or whatever.

But like... I wouldn't be able to afford the monthly payments if I bought my house right now and it's scary. Also none of my friends are buying homes, none of them are even renting full places. Just like renting rooms.

So what are your feelings home owners of lemmy?

Oh yeah absolutely was just told a story about a family who built a little tiny house for elderly parent instead of nursing home. They drew up design blueprint, got the specs, had it all professionally drafted and built to code, and then they are told to tear it all down because it was 200sqft less than minimum requirements. Like 1. why didn't they tell them that before it was approved by city and 2. come on show a little humanity even if its not exact code any reasonable person would look at that and go whatever good enough. When you can't do what you want with your property without jumping through a dozen buracratic hoops, it isn't really your property in anything but name IMO.

Also IDK where you live but over here where I am theres abandoned shopping malls EVERYWHERE left to rot. I say we should spend some tax dollars to renovate them and their big ass lots and turn them into homeless shelters/ extremely low cost living areas. No they would rather them just rot if they aren't making any money.
