Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Oh shit wait that's where indexes are indexed.

Housing prices crashing don't cause rent prices to lower that much

Look at the two history trend lines

Crash so bad its cheaper to buy a house than rent. Take the indexes. Take the economy. Make it cheaper to buy a house than a loaf of bread.

Me and wife have been looking for five years now. And by looking I mean we've been slowly burning through the savings that were supposed to be a down-payment, waiting for the housing market to crash. I don't think it's going to happen.

Don't worry, it's gonna happen! (Exclusively in areas that will be uninsurable in fewer than 10 years.)

Now crash. I want to see investor tears.

At this moment this entire capitalist thing sounds like Beavis & Butthead dialogue:

"Hey, Beavis, do you remember how we grifted on housing so hard we crashed half of world economy?"

"Yeah"

"Let's do it again"

Same, my vision is just Regular Show

“Dude...”

“I thought it would be funny!”
