Two bedroom apartment: $1400 a month
Three bedroom apartment: $1479 per month.

Can someone please explain to me why we live in a society where living alone has become unaffordable for wagies?

I bought my first home at $240k last year on an engineer's salary and I'd never be able to afford the mortgage, insurance, and maintenance costs if I weren't renting out the other rooms.

Lately I've been fantasizing about living alone and realize how economically inefficient it is in today's society. Why the fuck is a studio apartment so close in price to a 3 bedroom? Walls and not sharing a dishwasher / fridge does not equate to how expensive it is to have a studio apartment compared to roommates.

Someone explain this pls.

Is it, though? My property value has gone up $5000 while my mortgage has decreased by about $7000 in the last year. $12000 profit. Who knows what the future has in store but I doubt home values will decrease by half. Maybe a 10-30 percent at most, and I've already survived my cryptos losing 70-95 percent of value so 30 percent seems like a fucking steal.

I thought this too, especially since my state gives fat tax rebates for renters. Then I bought a house and realized it's so much fucking better. I don't have to deal with anyone else's bullshit. If I want income I can airbnb spare bedrooms. Incredibly comfy. Worth the 3400 a month (3bd house, about the same price as a 3bd apartment here)

Jesus, how dumb are you faggots? I live in middle America and own a 1,500 sq ft home and only pay 1400 a month total. I split it with two roommates. And they just put in new apartments a couple blocks away that charge under 600 a month for a single bedroom. I dont even have a real job, I pay my share of the mortgage with app delivery services and live withing 5 miles of the major metropolitan area. What the fuck is wrong with you people?

Leasing a car without a doubt. Renting a home makes sense in a lot of situations if it's super short notice move for work or you know you'll be moving again in a couple years and when you factor in all the closing costs of buying and selling plus property tax plus maitence a lot of people end up losing money on a house they owned for a short period of time.

Leasing a car on the other hand is unfathomable to me. Hats off to them tho, one of the most successful jew tricks of the 20th century is convincing the average 50k/yr pleb he can afford to be driving around in a brand new 60k car every three years.

Just fucking LOL at taking out a car loan, paying 60% of it of, and then giving the car back to Ezra to resell to someone else and walk away with nothing.

350,000 dollar condo in the rich suburban area of Montréal

100,000 left on the mortgage (thanks for the down payment, Ethereum) = $400 a month

I have like 2000 sq feet, a gigantic projector for old movies, a huge designer couch, an office, a king size bed, one of those neon Bitcoin Accepted Here Signs in my modern, well appointed kitchen, and i've had all the furniture custom built in Québec.

It feels fucking good. Renting is for manchildren -- moving all the time, not being able to customize anything, throwing away an ever increasing amount of your own money every month, not having a safe investment for your future,... no thanks.

It feels fucking amazing to choose your own appliances and furniture (solid fucking oak all the way) and be able to put up artwork on your own walls, rent out rooms on AirBNB and boomer it up at Costco every other week

Because your country has let in "foreign investors", and your schools have let in "foreign students", and your government has let in "foreign workers", and it continues.

Your cities (and greater area) were not designed for more than the existing population. This is called "Carrying Capacity". The housing market is reflecting a natural process where the population the environment cannot support is culled. Money being the only equivalent force to natural selection right now, if you can't afford to live somewhere, you fuck off on out of there to where you can afford to live.

Blame the Jews.

Wrong, extreme rent increases should only arrive when he hit 10 or 12 billion according to the UN. The real issue is Nixon let Jews steal from us starting in the 70s, protecting Jew corporations and expanding their rights in courts. We have been stolen from ever since the 70s, we are not earning as much money for our work as our parents and grandparents. Cant believe you're letting them get away with it.

This only works if you have similar lifestyles or if the roommates are actually responsible enough to not leave shit all over the place and do the dishes. Trust me that shit is rarer than you think
