Families struggle to find affordable places to live as housing costs continue to rise

How many illegals are there in the country and where are they residing?

Property taxes are killing those who own their homes too!

Why does it sound like someone's chopping wood?

This is why I live in my car 😢

I have 5 rental properties just bought 2 more I always make sure tenants can afford it

There's a racial aspect to this mess but no one wants to talk about that

I just moved in my car 2 weeks ago I can’t longer afford the high rent cost and I worked 2 jobs!

Tisha Powell!!! Nice to see you again!!! Raleigh misses you!!

Should we reward failure And punish success/the financially responsible. I work hard and have repeatedly made personal and financial Sacrifices but yet I don't qualify for this or any of these programs .But yet people who have not made the same Sacrifices or acted with the same degree of personal and financial responsibility are rewarded.

WOW! A TRULY GORGEOUS WOMAN!!!

This is just madness.

"Supplies in the 'Basement'."

I just bought 17 houses and I am keeping them empty bc I don’t trust poor people and I’d rather wait for a higher offer to sell them at a higher price.

the reporter is pretty and very classy looking

$1700 for a one bedroom is insane. Especially compared to the average income

Average cost for a home in Hawaii is 1.2 mil.

the result of capitalism

Pass a state law preventing institutional investors from buying homes that were supposed to be for middle class people. I see it first hand in my neighbor, they bought the home for less than $400K, they just cleaned and with few touch ups, they sold it for over $500K to another buyer. It is ridiculous that they are ripping of both the seller of that home and the new buyer.

The average people pay for rent is way more than 30% of their income

I'm not complaining about having a mortgage of $1,800 in Las Vegas.

Inflation. Food, houses, utilities, house prices, etc.

I guess the question missing is why do we have such a glaring need for Low-Income housing.

Has their been a demographic shift where people are moving back into cities which drives up the price of housing. Also, help people develop job skills and or to educate themselves so they don’t stay low-income for life.

That female reporter is gorgeous. Just saying...

Stop prioritizing illegals above your own, housing them, and giving them SS & food assistance with OUR MONEY. Stop allowing hedge funds and foreign buyers to purchase property... This land is OURS. Power to the PEOPLE

Wait! The city of Atlanta spent $50 million to build 40 housing units? That’s insane!

As an investor, you have increases because of skyrocketing insurance and property taxes.

Homeowner here mortgage interest taxes and insurance are burying us.

It’s only going to get worse. Wait and watch. Rents and home prices will only keep rising due to Fed Balance Sheet shrinking, quantitative tightening, and lower interest rates forecast sometime next year (around 3.5% Fed rates).

REAL PAGE is a big part of it and there are seven states suing them right now they're a multimillion-dollar investment firm and when homeowners and complexes sign with them and they price fix for profit but if everybody broke and can't afford rent and laid off they ain't making no profit no more that's why complexes are half empty.

Homes need to be for families not corporations or foreigners that isn’t their primary residence until inventory improves and prices are down no houses for rent

86 years old? She should own her home free and clear by now

One thing we can be sure of is that we have a housing Depression.

Demand change from our lawmakers! Its evil....

Get to the root of the problem. Stop large commercial investors from buying up thousands of single family homes to rent out. They are what's causing housing shortage and huge price increases.

The government must print and type in more money and have price controls.

DNC Global NGO policies. Sorry american tax payer dummy.. your soft and now tolerate your extiction. It'd be funny if were not so fatal.

I think the COVID crisis had a lot to do with the high rent. Landlords got screwed when people didn’t have to pay. They’re getting it back now

It's absolutely SICKENING how a BAISC NEED is being used as a VEHICLE FOR INVESTMENT for GREEDY PEOPLE

This is stupid. There are plenty of communities where homes are dirt cheap. But people don’t want to live where they can afford. I can’t afford a Rolls Royce! There must be some evil conspiracy!! I think they mean “cheap” housing, which people don’t want because it brings in undesirables. If some thing is not “affordable”, it just means you don’t provide enough value to society to live in that place. People want the world to change to accommodate them, when in reality, they need to improve themselves so they can provide value. That’s how a free society works!

Corruption.

Smarter without honoring Almighty God and his ways to live no way. Claiming to be wise they be fools Romans 1 :22

It's the economy stupid not abortion or then the immigration & maybe woman's rights to control their own bodies kamala Harris is losing valuable ground with so little time left

I know how to fix the housing problem in America. Invite millions of people to come here every year (both legal and illegal), and allow corporations to buy huge swaths of available units to rent out to the plebs. Oh, wait.....

Being single with your own place is not a thing anymore, you need to get married , or have roommates

$1,100 per month for a studio is NOT AFFORDABLE, ATLANTA GUY!

It's not supply and demand, it's that no one wants to live in dangerous neighborhoods, if Detroit neighborhoods were safe many would just go there. Drugs, gangs and crime in this country are finally taking their final tole, and that's not just among the poor class but the rich as well.
Really think for a moment, if all of those hoods were completely crime free, there would be plenty of housing for everyone.

No. Affordable housing means a person working a median-wage job can buy a house that is 3-4 times her/his annual income, just like it was when real market forces were in play decades ago. Not "we're only going to give the poor people $ so they can spend like an average person"-meanwhile that enables rent and prices to be continually jacked up artificially. Increase supply, stop letting zoning laws and NIMBY weenies stand in the way of building, stop allowing increasingly longer term mortgages so the banks get fatter, dumber, and happier at the expense of everyone else, and get rid of the damn national association of realtors. The median-wage worker should not have to pay 8-10 times annual income to afford housing. Giving free money to artificially support high prices makes things worse-fix the real problem with the previous sentence. All this crap does is sort of fixes the poorest people-prices jack, and now you have a new higher-earning segment that is house poor or overburdened on rent. Give those folks money and next is the next higher earners, etc. Do REAL affordable housing, not a government scam.

It's like this in Canada too. I'm just finishing up medical school stilling living at home. I'm starting to look around at housing but I get so depressed from sticker shock that I just stop looking. I figure I'll have to be well within a medical career before I will be able to buy a home. It's really sad that government regulations have literally stopped housing developments.

Back in the day, when I purchased my first home to live-in; that was Miami in the early 1990s, first mortgages with rates of 8 to 9% and 9% to 10% were typical. People will have to accept the possibility that we won't ever return to 3%. If sellers must sell, home prices will have to decline, and lower evaluations will follow. Pretty sure I'm not alone in my chain of thoughts.
