Considering how crazy expensive accommodations have become the last couple of years, concentrated in the hands of greedy corporations, landlords and how little politicians seem to care about this problem, do you think we will ever experience a real estate market crash that would bring those exorbitant prices back to Earth?

    You can buy a full on house in Rochester NY for under 40k but you may not want to live there.

    I was going to say something very similar. If I look ahead and think about eventually retiring, there’s no way I could afford to do so in my current high cost of living area. However housing prices in the upstate NY town I grew up in, are next to nothing. I could just quit today and live out my savings, but then I’d have to live there

      I told by younger co-workers when we were talking about EV prices and they literally didn’t believe me until they hit zillow.
