    As related to the OP story I have heard about changes in local Zoning laws to accommodate more renting.

    Ethereal has a good point though. The debt we created under Bush and Obama was unforgivable. We should have shut the government down on budget battles rather than give into the Democrats on social spending. Once we allowed it then the addicts needed more and more.
    The deficit was Trump's big failure as President. The Democrats created it so they were in no position to use it against him. Trump thought he could outgrow the deficit but COVID hit and gave the government thieves the upper hand.

    Now here we are with Biden who feels he has every right to ignore the debt he creates.

    I 100% agree with Ethereal on the debt but to tie it to house prices?

    I think he was tying it to the inability to afford the houses at current prices.

    Houses are far from just following inflation like wages tend to do.

    In the housing crisis the average price of a house dropped 19%.
    The government made it difficult for banks to foreclose and evict but their were also few consumers looking to buy. Then angry people blamed their banks and stripped the houses on the way out, leaving even more expense or loses. Then the banks had to pay realtors to sell the properties.

    The lesson the banks learned from the Housing Bubble are reflected in that 40% down payment and suddenly look realistic.

    As home prices and mortgage rates continue to climb, new homeowners are embracing a skill learned by many in kindergarten — sharing. More Americans are renting out rooms in their own homes to fund mortgage expenses and recoup cash, according to Bloomberg.

    Homesharing… is a way for younger Americans to break into a housing market that’s experiencing a wee bit of a supply issue. According to Freddie Mac, the US is short ~3.8m housing units, which has greatly impacted prices.
    In 2021:
    · Home prices rose by 19%, and are expected to rise ~6% this year
    · 80% of metro areas saw home prices increase 10% or more
    As costs rise, the number of buyers who would consider renting out a portion of their home has jumped from 24% in 2019 to 31% in 2021.
    But it differs by generation

    While 67% of millennials are open to sharing their homes in exchange for cash, that number drops to 57% for Gen Z and 34% for baby boomers.
    This is partly out of necessity:
    · Millennials have 20% less wealth than their parents did at the same age.
    · The average price of a home today is ~$328k, compared to the ~$216k boomers spent in 1989, adjusted for inflation.
