I long for something of a distant path

The feeling of your throat closing up and grieving for a thing you know you'll never be able to expirence again

To not know that there would be a final time and how much I should of savored it

I long to feel like a younger me again, a child safe in a parent's arm

Thank fucking god for plumbers who are willing to go behind their corporate bosses’ backs and be like “yeah don’t pay the 150 dollar emergency fee just gimme 40 bucks under the table, also, don’t buy a water heater from us, my boss will charge u like 800 bucks. go to Lowe’s and ask for a Scratch n’ Dent, they’ll give you for like 200 bucks. Call me tomorrow and I can install it for you in like an hour” wow… solidarity

Here’s the thing: imagine if we fixed the housing market, so that the price of housing only increased to match inflation. That would be great, right? Except, homeowners typically spend $2000-$10000 per year on maintenance. So homeownership would go from an investment to an endless money pit, just like renting. The idea of a house as an investment, a house as a way to build wealth, requires that housing prices increase faster than inflation forever, which means that the burden of housing costs on working people must keep increasing forever, and the number of homeless people must keep increasing forever.

The housing crisis isn’t just a result of greedy landlords and investors. It’s an inevitable result of social policies that encourage people to treat their houses as in investment. Because once a homeowner internalizes the idea that their financial future depends on housing prices going up, they start favoring policies (such as NIMBYism) that make housing prices go up.

Conversely, if we want to end homelessness for good, we need to accept that housing is someone we’ll all have to continuously pour resources into, because buildings are complex physical objects that break a lot.

The reason I say this is because every time I read an article about the housing crisis, they always say something along the lines of “The housing crisis has robbed people of the opportunity to build wealth via homeownership!” without acknowledging that the housing crisis is what created the opportunity to build wealth via homeownership

What gets me is that “this is not an asset, it will not increase in value, do not expect it to or base any plans on that happening” is what we already say to people who are buying cars (or bikes or other personal transport). We already have a model for “owning something that has ongoing costs and doesn’t increase in value, but it’s worth it for its uses”. There’s no reason we can’t view housing like that as well.
