How do they get away with charging so much for housing /pol/?

>>133923945
Depends on the population density of the area.

>Vote with your dollar and don't live there
>Move to a state without ridiculous housing prices
>Don't buy (((((apartments))))) and instead make a mortgage payment on a nice house
Options, man. Options.

>>133924231
But I like having the option to move

I paid $1500/mo to sleep on the bottom bunk of a room filled with 40 beds in San Francisco.

So yes.

>>133923945
$300 and done

>>133924332
why

>>133924300
>you can only buy houses, you can't sell them

>>133924836
>It doesn't take months even sometimes years in addition to thousands of dollars investment in repairs, upgrades, and appraisals to sell a house.

>>133924332
Why

You can get your own place for that much no?

>>133925081
You can sell a house a day. Just depends on how much money you're willing to sell it for.

never.

>>133925449
You can't exactly afford to move if you lose all the money you put into a house.

>>133923945
>How do they get away with charging so much for housing /pol/?

Supply and demand.

>Would you live in this room for 1000 dollars a month?

No.

>>133924231
There's no jobs in rural areas

Although I'm literally considering moving to some shit hole town in Idaho and getting a job at Kmart. I work as a software engineer in the city right now and it's torture.

Supply and demand. If there is lots of demand, prices will be high. There's a reason people in bumfuck nowhere can live in mansions for the same price as a one-bedroom downtown apartment in a major city.

I currently pay $520 a week for a three bedroom house and it's considered cheap

>>133925088
Not in SF.

>>133925817
Does kmart even exist anymore?

I paid 500 a month for a three bedroom with basement, washer, dryer, dishwasher and water, sewage, trash included. Two story apartment.

>>133925857
Decent looking, not much in the way of cupboards though. 0/10 location, though.

>>133925857
Looks really similar to mine, albeit your home design skills are superior to mine.


Though I pay $840 a month and get a 2 stall garage included.

Study basic economics, specifically the supply and demand curve.
>when less X is supplied, it will cause the price to raise relevant to demand.

This is basic shit. Children understand it. Want to make a thread about finger painting, cuz this is damn close.

>>133925817
This is true. I had to leave the Adirondacks to find work outside of seasonal bullshit and temp retail. There used to be factory jobs here and there, but the one I worked at was shut down. Now I have a job, but I also live in a fucking niggertown. Fuck this gay earth.

You should be able to find some sort of programming job that allows you to work remotely.

>>133925651
The problem is people are always looking to MAKE money on the sale of their house. That's why it takes them forever to sell, and that's why they have to dump cash into their property to fix it up. However you should be able to sell the house very fast if you accept that you're going to sell it for a loss. You just have to make sure that the loss wouldn't be greater than what you would have paid out if you had been renting instead. Which should be fairly easy to do, unless you were stupid and got completely hosed on the purchase price of the house.

>>133926524
Oh yeah why didn't I think of that. I should have gone to remotejobs.com to get one of those.

>>133923945
>urban retards will defend this

>>133925949
Thats about the same here except its monthly like 2300 for a nice 3 bedroom house

>mfw buying a 1900 square foot house for 230k that will be around 1500 dollars a month that is still in a major city

Feels good to be Texan.

literally making shit up, fuck you

>>133924332
It kills me to see that. Landowners are making bank on you guys. It's similar to how Dickinson ND (oilfields) boom was. I have 4bed house at 1300/month. You'd hate it here though.

>>133927592
Dicktown sucks ass. Liquids is niggerville. The rest are bars for alcoholics. The mall sucks. The rec center is the only good thing about that town.

>>133923945
if i was within 15 mins of a relevant city centre.
At the moment i'm in a 3 bedroom place in the Darwin cbd (city's population is only 140000) for $450 a week

>>133923945
That room looks comfy as fuck
You could live like the main character from Le Samourai with that room

Paying literally zero dollars for a private room, 50 yards from million dollar housing, a short walk to the beach, 3 hot and healthy meals for free.

Thanks, taxpayer. You're welcome for my service.

No I wouldn't, but I would pay 1000 for pic related easily. Would be worth it for no roomates.
