Because people can just buy and rent out at a profit so the house pays for itself. This, in turn, means everybody who can do that WILL do that, so their demand increases not in correlation to just housing requirements, but in correlation to the number of people who are able to buy houses as investments.

Zoning laws prevent developers from building high-density housing. Competition over the limited supply drives prices to ridiculous levels.

Look at pic related. Any developer would love to replace that with condos, which would reduce prices by a lot, but they aren't allowed to.

Our institutions have outgrown the need for the people who created them.

The British empire never died, it just turned inward. Now it imports colonies into its national borders and manages them domestically.

Also we have almost no people considering the space and potential of this land. Importing millions of people and driving up housing prices will hopefully encourage Canadians to move to secondary cities to escape the rat race. We desperately need more people and things to do in many places like Victoria, Halifax, etc. Fuck the boomers who want their sleepy little enclaves that close at 6pm.

There's a lot of reasons.

In Canada, as per usual, we have a ton of restrictions, taxes, and regulations that the liberals/socialists instilled. It's a typical money grab that benefits the government, lobbyists, and corporations they're buddy buddy with, and, as per usual, the liberals/socialists sugar coated it as fairness/equality, and helping out the lower class.

Then you have mass immigration; obviously the more people competing and needing a house the higher it'll drive the prices. Once again, thank liberal/socialist politicians.

And lastly, Chinese and other countries buy up houses. China is absolute shit and they need to launder money over here, otherwise they can get fucked.

1. Stop letting liberals/socialists keep adding bullshit restrictions and taxes. Like the Paris Accord, they're just inventing new ways to tax people so they can earn more money.

2. Stop with the mass immigration. We're probably long gone, but this was severely autistic. Just because whites weren't popping out kids causing our index to increase at 90 degrees doesn't mean RIP America. But now the darkies are going to blow up our population even more, further ruining the country and economy.

3. Stop letting other shitty countries buy up our property and businesses.

Having a business around buying and selling houses was retarded too.

Ah, that sucks. Something similar is happening in the old fields where I grew up that was kind of half-rural, except in that case the houses are excessively cheap and fancy because they're sucking up white flight.

Where I live now is urban as well as a designated rapefugee center, and they're already installing commieblocks through "regentrification" to handle the brown parade.

Either way sucks for a young person looking to buy a decent house in a decent area that isn't somewhere out of the way.

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/upshot/buy-rent-calculator.html?_r=0

Did some math.

In Philadelphia, the property tax rate is an absurd 1.4%.

If you are looking for a $400k home in philadelphia, which is apparently modest, if you plan on staying less than three years, it is better to RENT for ANYTHING less than $2.3k per month.

And that is with a very optimistic assumption that your home value will increase per annum of 3%, 2% inflation (LOL), a mere $4000 in renovations to your home, a LAUGHABLE $122 in utilities per month, and 20% down.

In short, you are a fucking retard if you own a home.

>>130423300
generally, you MUST plan on living in your home for a minimum of 5-10 years to break even. selling before then just means you own your down payment equity, but you've paid 5-10 years of interest payments as well. after a decade is when you do start gaining significantly over renting

Supply & demand basically.

On a related note that is never mentioned, in Britain (maybe other places too, I'm not sure) the sharp increase in housing prices since the late 90s correlates with the introduction of tuition fees for university education.

When all of the sudden, virtually anybody could get an interest free loan (that they might never have to pay back anyway) to pay for a university education, the market for student accomodation quite obviously soared to great heights.

This is a trend that continues to this day, with record numbers of university students year on year and is in my opinion a large (but virtually ignored) factor in the increasingly expensive cost for housing.

What really bothers me though is how all of this hasn't really lead to increased earning potential for millions across the country. It may have worked out for some, but I think that for most, it hasn't really done anything, besides putting them in debt. Had tuition fees not been introduced, would all of the graduates struggling to get by with paying back student loans, paying a mortgage, car, kids etc have been worse off in terms of employment opportunities? Probably not, because even before every 1 in 4 people had a degree, somebody was doing those jobs.

One of the least spoke about red pills is how university 'education' is, for the many, a massive rip off and a huge money spinner for the rich and powerful. I suspect part of this is because so many on /pol/ have fallen for the university education meme and are embarassed to admit it, probably even in denial over how bad of a decision it was on their part.

Land Value Taxation or Georgism

It's the LAST red pill that (((they))) don't want you to know about

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aaq2UXW0krA

Basically other taxes are inefficient and tax things which should not be taxed (improving your property, being productive or purchasing everyday items) whereas land value taxation would mainly effect (((big corps))), (((oligarchs))) and (((them))) aka the people who live in the heart of the city.

I'll be ITT to answer questions and chat about it, but I feel as though if I could at least convert pol into accepting LVT we could be well on our way to dismantling anti white forces and simultaneously allow white couples to purchases housing cheaply.

Demand, Plain and Simple.

Chinks are cashed up after their boom and are now seeking to move into these places and get out of China. Thus the increase in demand pushes up prices.

To add, Specifically in Australia, we have our greens objecting to building new housing as it will have a negative on the environment, yet they are also the party who want to bring in any and all immigrants.

Buy to let needs to be outlawed

It's a cancer on society. Property rights are the foundation of a family unit. To get anywhere nowadays you need two incomes, a death tax (mortgage) and a government loan. Or extremely rare circumstances like 0 debt, high income £30k+ and low outgoings.

Me and my fiancé -- who's in uni -- will likely not afford our own place for another 4 years at least as for a baseline rented flat in my city it's £450 pcm. This is the lowest of the low one room sofa bed shit.

Meanwhile the dude is paying less than like £300 per month on the mortgage or some shit. He's literally in straight profit monthly on top of having a £200k property in his name. I don't usually engage in financial class bait but this is criminal.

I sometimes entertain the ideas of a certain communist Serb, most of which are shit, but one of the more interesting ideas was basically if there could be something to do about treating differently a property registered as a primary residence (such as one might need to have for legal purposes, like a mailing address or whatever) and other ones.

It's not clear what arrangement might work, particularly when you consider that joe blow with 10 properties is peanuts compared to a bank that owns 1000s of them via mortgages and doesn't need whatever incentives might be conferred upon a primary residence, even if they didn't just scam their way around it anyway.

Strange question. Antitrust doesn't seem to be enough, but I can't bring myself to think that heavy-handed government intervention is going to lead to more than cartels of a worse sort.

Chinks and Ruskies are buying up everything in most places. Also the Saudi's as well.

It also has a ripple effect from the bankers.
For example, my mother bought her first 3 bedroom detached cottage in a lovely area for $8,000.

She then bought a lovely detached home in a nice area about 8 years later for 26,000.

My brother bought a similar style of house about 20 years after that for 50,000.

All three bedroom, large, lovely, nice area just outside the major city but with close motor ways.

His house is worth 200/250k now, and that's AFTER the area became a cess pool of shitskins and the house prices dropped like a rock.

For a nice house, in a shitty area I'm looking at 200,000$ and I can barely get a mortgage for 165. Wages are not close to matching the housing rate, rent is fucking crazy, and the government support criminal land lords, so its not going to ever get better.

They want no less than a million for it but looking at zillow the houses around them go for like $500,000. They refuse to sell lower and will just live there until they die rather than selling the home at market value.

tldr: Greedy boomers. It's always greedy boomers.

It's a complicated thing.

Local governance in most Canadian cities is elected by a constituency that universally sees their home as their main form of wealth. Not to mention inflated property taxes is the easiest and largest source of local tax wealth. So there's multiple incentives for local politicians to deny any sort of increased housing density, industrial or commercial zoning or really anything that allieves the economic and housing crises plaguing Canada at the moment.

On the provincial level, Canadian province ministers have active collaboration with Chinese investment fund CEOs to continue propping up the Canadian housing market. This means ensuring a return on Chinese investment and the continuation of the gouging of the leaf voter base.

The reason that Canadians have to suffer all this is because they don't understand that their government is so ridiculously incompetent and inefficient that it takes the most resource-rich nation on the planet combined with working in wage slavery to afford second-tier government services.

Because boomers were encouraged to invest in property as a way to safeguard their future. Unfortunately their future became too expensive so mass immigration was also required to safeguard their future. Unfortunately these two things conspired to lock young white folk out of the housing market in these countries.

>boomers buy multiple houses as investments
>refuse to move out of the cities even when they have retired
>immigration required to fill the cities to care for the boomers taking up more housing stock
>white kids cannot buy

>Mass immigration inflates housing demand.
>Russians, Saudis and influential chinese buy up decent property in London.
>Everything else is bought up by buy-to-let investors.
>Displacement of London workers into commuter towns pushing up prices everywhere in South East.

The only comfort in this is knowing that by 2020-2025, voluntary repatriation will be on the cards, and a cut in the state pension will cause the middle classes and all the old dears to flood the markets with property.

In the GTA its because of immigration (shit skins), but its starting to slow down because of the new overseas buyers tax. Sadly at this point I'll never be able to afford anything but a condo if I want to stay near Toronto.

it's funny because 3rd world countries figured out how to fix this problem but we haven't.

Speculation.

They lower interest rates to nothing so nobody puts money in the banks.
Houses pay interest rate when flipped in rich areas of 10-20% vs -1% in a savings account.
>>
>>130410381

That is how they make money. High housing prices=higher loans=more money to the bank who most of the time own the housing.

Also Boomers bought up millions of cheap starter homes during the housing crash a decade ago and converted them all into expensive apartments and townhomes and shit. Makes it hard to find a actual small family homes, and those that do exist have their prices jacked up from being surrounded by apartment complexes and shit.

My fiance and I were planning to move back to our hometown and in a moment of nostalgia I looked up my childhood and found it was for sale - an old 3BR, 1BA, 1100 sq ft, with a tiny yard in the back that was built back in the 20s. Tiny by today's standards but perfect for us to start our family in.

My parents bought it in '85 for $22K. Today it's $134K!

And it's not like they've completely redone the house or anything - I looked through the photos and apart from redoing the bathroom there's been zero renovation in the house since I last lived there almost 30 years ago.

Ridiculous.

Its not the price going up, its the value of currency going down. Thats what happens when you print currency to bail out the banks. As you print, you devalue the currency because you dilute the value of each $ or £ or whatever and the currency loses purchasing power.

There should b outrage at the ongoing stimulus, but we are all brainwashed and pol isn't as "redpilled" as you think

Who here /Dixie/? Houses are cheap as fuck, and rent is great. You just have to worry about niggers robbing you.

living in a commie block or ""condo"" is worse, man is not made to live like cans of sardines, it also promotes alienation and minor differences like neighbours kids playing too loud or one neighbour that doesn't want to upgrade repar some part became major points of contention

>Chinks and Ruskies are buying up everything in most places. Also the Saudi's as well.
aren't they buying up the ritzy places in the ritzy areas though? That's pretty irelevent from the point of the average consumer. Look (((who))) is buying up all the to rent places and who is pushing for minorities to move in areas to destabilize them
Case study : Manhattan,the most expensive real estate on earth,half of it is ghettoo

Nah you just hear about foreigners buying one of the big nice houses in posh villages more often than russians bulk buying lower middle class houses in towns and cities
>>
>>130415149

It looks like the American or Canadian version of a favela with the only difference being that everything is sprawled the fuck out instead of everyone living on top of each other.

you mean jews,most russians with moey abroad are jews

People treat houses and guns and other stupid shit like the stock market. They're always trying to get more out of it than they put into it rather than just sit on what they buy and appreciating it how it is.
