[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree, just a bunch of woke liberals trying to shatter the “American Dream” of single family home ownership.   Trying to cast it as “racist” and a product of some imaginary “privilege”.

Work, save, buy a condo or townhome as a starter, build equity, move on to a single family  home.   People have done it for years.  [/quote]

This is the "boomer" response whether one is a boomer or not. 2024 MoCo is not the same as even 2004 MoCo, let alone 1974. Housing is less affordable than its ever been and young people start life with more debt than ever before.

We talked stats up-thread, and the median MoCo household has at best a tenuous path to homeownership. The American Dream used to be a broadly shared dream. It now is out of reach for perhaps half of the county's population, and shrinking. If its not yet a crisis, its heading in that direction. [/quote]

So move out of moco. Not hard. You can buy homes in Indiana for under $200k. [/quote]

Actually, there are homes in Moco for about $400K, and townhouses for even less, so people don't even need to move. It's just that people think they're entitled to a brand new home in Bethesda that looks like what they see on HGTV.[/quote]

Is there only one "There's no housing crisis! It's just that people think they're entitled to a brand new home in Bethesda that looks like what they see on HGTV!" poster or are there multiple posters? I might need to add it to the bingo card I use during public meetings about housing.[/quote]
