crazy that millennials were largely priced out of both home ownership and starting a family in like ~10 years flat. impressive work by our govs.

I had friends and family sell out of their residential properties within the last decade and I told them they’d be renting from now on. No one believed me. Guess what happened?

yeah… it’s remarkable how the housing market has gone up and to the right like a speculative bubble but somehow refuses to ever meaningfully correct.

the last ~10 years have blown my mind seeing my neighbourhood go from 300k-400k to 800k-1.2M. feels like it happened overnight.

Same. Kick myself for being too broke to buy anything 5 years ago, because everything around me went from 400-500k to 1.3-1.5m in that time frame. And now I know it's not happening unless I get incredibly lucky. There's almost nothing reasonable that doesn't involve immense luck that could make up that delta and make it "affordable" to purchase anything.

Yeah. I hear that. Would love to own but it dropped out of reach long ago
