@The_Almighty_Kek

is it better or worse than paying more* to live in an apartment, gaining no equity, having no land, being subject to the whims of the landlord, being told what pets you can or can't have? that's up to you or any other individual. some people prefer not being responsible for property taxes, broken toilets, loose door knobs, roof repair, etc. and that's fine too.

* - how MUCH more is debatable and dependent on location, but likely more.

@The_Almighty_Kek

would it be better if prices are lower?

if that affected no other levers, definitely yes.

if we took a full accounting of the domino effects, still probably yes.

what argument am I making and why is it retarded? you could weigh the pros and cons of buying a $175k cabin on > 1 acre of land versus renting, conclude it doesn't work for you, and there's no conflict with what I said.

what do you want? to pay less than everyone else? yeah, me too!

@travis4nh @Omega_Variant

I'm not debating renting versus owning. I own my house. I know it's favorable.

Is there any reason my house should be "worth" $250k now, even though I bought it for $160k less than a decade ago? I'm not making much more money now than I was back then and it doesn't sound like many people are. So why, if I were to move to a comparable home (within the same area) must my living expenses basically triple (when factoring in the difference in interest rates, tax jurisdiction, etc) for a lateral move? Property shouldn't increase at the rate it does, and it does at the hands of filthy hook nosed bagel niggers who deserve nothing less than Total Investor Death.
