As a NIMBY guy…I’m going to protect my investment. There’s plenty of affordable housing out there, it’s just not 10 minutes walking distance from an urban center.

I can go pay 20k cash and live in a trailer across town if I need to.

Everyone wants low cost housing, no one actually wants to live ina low cost area.

First off, housing isn’t a fucking investment. It’s a human’s basic need. Anyone thinking a roof over your head is an “investment” can fuck right off because your line of thinking IS the problem.

Which brings me back to the 20k trailer…it’s dirt fucking cheap. If you don’t think housing is an investment, you can easily afford rent or payments on 20k over 10 years with a minimum wage job.

However…I don’t see a lot of people scrambling for the “affordable” housing.

If you really want to socialize living space, there acres and acres of really empty, really cheap land in the fly over states. Grab an acre of land somewhere and you can house 100s of people on it.

Something tells me none of those options are appealing to you.

Where do you live that trailers are only 20k? I live in a small Indiana city and the cheapest trailers here are over 30k.

Close to there actually. I see them go for that cheap all the time…It’s tempting as hell to liquidate everything and go buy one and retire.

Weird how I’m not seeing any for 20k no matter where I look.

You do know that’s just for the home and not the land too, right? You have to pay rent for the land.
