The Approved™ plan for life includes going to school, getting a good job, buying a house…
In what kind of messed up world do you need to buy a house before starting the rest of your life???
And Gen Z is considered failures, because they are not buying houses.
And, and, people think this is normal!
Even those who are complaining see the entire process as normal, they just argue about the price being too high, or there not being enough housing, and often times, "the govern-cement should cease the housing".
We need to realize that "Real Estate" is the problem. The way we think of ownership. The way we lump necessities in with luxuries. Seriously, what amount of brainwashing did we have to go through before we decided it is ok to keep a person separate from shelter?
The typical American piece of Ticky-Tacky is as cheap as cheap can be. A normal guy can put his fist through a wall. There is no consideration for where they sun is during the seasons. There is very little insulation. It has to be heated and cooled by physical means. It truly is a piece of shit. And whether it is $250k or a million, its just more of the same junk.
It is lucky that the mortgage only lasts 30 years, else the mortgage might outlive the house.
I typical detached house takes a crew about 3 months to build. An apartment building takes the same time, but divided up it would be less than 3 weeks.
Why do we spend so much on rent, for 3 weeks of a crew's time? If you worked building houses, on a crew of 8, why then, after a year, don't you OWN an apartment? If you helped build a whole tract of houses, why do you not OWN a house?
The problem is you are not paying for a house, you are paying for the rarity of the property. And that rarity is artificially kept high. And then you have to add in the banksters' cut.
People moved into the cities, where the factories were, to get jobs. But, this wasn't a natural migration.
This was a plan by those mother WEFers (long before they changed their name to WEF) To get people off the farms and into the cities. Because farmers are really hard to manage. You can't threaten them with food scarcity.
So, these corporations built their factories near each other. (you could say they built in an area, for the same reasons, but it gets kind of sketchy)
Anyway, you have all of these factory workers -> office workers, who all lived in a cramped, confined area, all competing for properties, with a house, to live in. Just the way the banksters liked it.
(A company that made toilets, built a town for its workers… they were taken down)
The corporate workers are in a bankster trap. There is only so much space around the corporations, and so, that space gets bid up and up and up. And the banksters cheer it on with larger loans.
The phrase "Diamonds are a girls best friend" is a marketing ploy. Da Bears (sp) who owned all the diamond production around the world, wanted to sell more diamonds. So they launched an advert campaign with all the super-stars showing off their diamonds. (diamonds are the cheapest gemstone. Just carbon.) We believe that diamonds are expensive and rare. It was all marketing.
"Your house is your biggest asset" You guessed it, pure marketing. The house is ticky-tacky. It isn't worth anything. And the land under it is only expensive because of constructed rarity. Further, it isn't your asset, it is the bank's asset. Even after you pay it off, it still isn't yours. Especially if you are living in it.
An asset is something you have that can be sold or traded for other things. Like a chunk of gold. Your house, is not an asset. It is a necessity for your continued survival. Can you decide to sell your house because you need more funds this quarter? No, the decision is between having a place to live or live on the street. It is not an asset.
And with the psuedo-economic phrase "your house is your biggest asset" in their brains, people have been paying more and more for houses, thinking that they were "saving" for the future. But, all they have been doing is making the banksters richer. Paying, on average 3x for their house.
Along with this, it was put into the minds of the people, that it was the sign of growing up and becoming a part of society, for you to buy your first house. The script is to go to school, get good grades, graduate, get a good job, buy a house…
This script was also propagandized into you.
It is not natural, it does not flow from logic. AND!!! It only worked for a few decades of unlimited money growth.
Get a college degree to become a starbuckins barista. This is reality now. There is no good job for you. Nor a house you can buy.
How did we get from a necessity for life, to a bargaining chip?
Well, you have been lied to and propagandized for your entire life. Everything on television (including Little House on the Prairie) was to sell you on moving into the city and pay a LOT for a tiny lot.
We need to start from the beginning and design a system where everyone has a place to live and work.
If we want capitalism, we would also need small room with a metal, locking door, for every single man, woman and child. Of course this would destroy the real estate market. Not having the scarcity to keep the prices up. And, of course, the banksters would try to lock everyone into their little rooms.
Fortunately, individual tribes/"families"/small communities will learn to manufacture on their own. And technology will allow building the community almost anywhere. No roads, no power lines, no water lines necessary.
And then, we will find that there is no scarcity of land. And it is really the land that owns us, not the other way around. Or, a better way of thinking is that we are the current stewards of the land, and live because we care for that land.
