All Encompassing Mortgage and Real Estate Thread
Whoever told you that is clueless. I work for a company run by people as fair as I’ve ever run across in this industry. We raised rents 30% from mid 2020 to early 2022. Because we could. And we would have been chumps for not doing it. And our partners would have skewered us if we didn’t. When supply and demand is out of whack, those who benefit bend those who don’t over. This shit isn’t complicated.

Dropping rates will make housing more expensive, not cheaper. Might make the payment more affordable. I’ve been in the housing development business since 1996. Only time I’ve seen costs come down in a meaningful way was 2008. Unless that happens again, we aren’t getting a cost reset.

That’s because people in the policy space don’t know shit. Allowing more density will help, sort of. But it won’t be any cheaper to build (or rent/sell) And the more you allow the more expensive it will be to build due to constrained supply of labor. Supply and demand - how does it work? lol The cost aint coming down. And neither is the price as long as the capital required to pay for it demands a market return. Source: based on my 30 years of experience as a housing developer.

Affordability isn’t coming down, at least not on the cost side without some sort of real shock (a la 2008) to the system. Either incomes need to grow, or supply (baby boomers selling en mass) needs to increase. There is no other way around it. And yes, what we’ve done with the housing market is a total fuck you to our kids Also, always important to remember, improving affordability means your house too. Want to improve affordability? Sell your house for 65% of what it’s worth. No one does that and no one will ever do that. It’s a complete joke to hear people talk about improving affordability.

405hp seems like a lot for that truck. How big is the gas tank? How many miles to a tank?

So my kiddo got accepted to UC Santa Barbara
I hear you. I applied to one school. She applied to the AZ schools too. Her main criteria was I don’t want to go anywhere cold. And I don’t want go to college in the slave states. I’m like well that pretty much leaves So Cal and AZ. I suspect she’ll fit right in in Santa Barbara if I decide to fork over the cash so she can go to school in a beach paradise vs going to U of A for basically free. That said, she has worked her ass off on grades and it shows. I would like to reward that. But got damn that’s a lot of money. Appreciate all the responses.

Anyone know anything about it or have any experience with it? I don’t know much about it. It’s the one school she applied to that we didn’t visit. She applied as kind of a flyer and got accepted. Fortunate enough to have a couple of school to choose from it seems. Looks like not the worst place to visit as a parent.
