    You can’t buy a shed for that price where I live. An apartment of that size would be $2500+ per month.

    I don’t want this to be the future but it’s better than a future where no one can buy anything at all.

      Exactly. I saw the price and the sq ft. and I was like, damn, I wish that wasn’t in Texas.

      I fucking hate the real estate market where I live. So do all my roommates.

        My wife and I finally decided to take the leap and buy back in 2022. We had been waiting for years for the “market to correct” and finally just decided that we needed to stop waiting. Within months interest rates became unaffordable, and they’ve only gotten worse since then. We would not be able to reasonably afford our current home with current interest rates. It’s insane. The whole thing is rigged.
