I’m in the 35-59 year old bracket and desperately want home prices to drop. I’ve done everything our parent’s generation said to do to succeed and the goalposts move faster than I can make money.

When two adults making low six figures can’t qualify for an average home, something is deeply deeply broken in this country.

The shitty part is there’s no one in government who gives half a shit about it to actually do something.

I completely agree. It’s practically sociopathic at this point. And I say this as someone who bought a house 12 years ago that has “doubled” in value.
