Cityslickers vs country

[HereWeGoAgain]

They're going up everywhere.

FYI I'm extremely happy they're going up in the country.

The housing market is taking a shit right now.
Should we expect that to happen in the country?

 

[emilseine]

And they don't go to rural Florida ...

Right I'm agreeing with you.

And going to smaller cities. Not to the country.

Most of those smaller cities use to look like the country.
When a small city built for 30,000 suddenly has 90,000 people, it's a shock to the infrastructure.

It isn't going down on Long Island or Miami.

People would rather live in places where they are more prone to disease.

What does that say about the country?

It says they're smarter than those who move to the city.

The housing market has gone bananas over the last three years.

It needs to come down.

What needs to stop is banks lending everyone 1M.

What are the reasons? Is it really a good idea when it causes diseases to spread?

People go where the jobs are. They always have. I bet the worst 3rd-world slum is way better than the London of 200 years ago.

There is a flood of wealthy Columbians moving to Florida who can afford almost any price.

Actually long island is showing a down turn.
As is Miami. The housing market is taking a shit across the country due to dem policies.

Part of my job is to make sure houses receive permits minus bribes and I don't see the prices going down yet.

Even leftwing google says the prices are dropping.
Of course this is a good thing for those who have money on hand to take advantage of the drop.

I can tell you it ain't dropping here or in Manhattan.
One trick that people 50 and older have learned is that if you take out a huge mortgage and don't pay it you won't be kicked out of your house for at least 10 years.

Acoording to the great playwright David Mamet the middle class moved out of NY years ago. That there isn't a middle class in nyc now.

You certainly cannot afford NYC unless you have an income of at least 150K.

Than why are land prices in the country going up?

They aren't unless they are near metro areas.

If you can buy a car with cash, you don't need credit.
The oldsters also invest the money.

Not many can buy a house with cash.
I mean I can. In fact we paid for our current house with cash 16 years ago.
