[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It annoys the crap out of me that developers, realtors and mortgage brokers are out here using this anonymous board for their arguments.[/quote]

You can't fathom the concept of people wanting housing to be affordable for their kids? I've got two-- lower elementary. 20 more years of housing costs going up considerably faster than incomes is not going to make a good world for them. And as a fed, I'm not exactly in a position to give them trust funds.[/quote]

Who is talking trust funds? Do you really imagine those of us in these working class / middle class neighborhoods most vulnerable to the impact of this proposal are any different than you?

I’ve told my kids to start saving for a home early, live at home with me during college years to save cost of housing and forgo massive student loans, and I’ve also told them to be prepared to save for 15 years for a home - just like I did. I was in my 40s when I bought my first home.

I’m also teaching them a lesson that millennials obviously didn’t get: you aren’t entitled to a home. You have to earn it. So pick a local college, get a degree that offers a good income and career, and live modestly and save every penny. [/quote]

Cutting off your nose to spite your face. You wouldn't have to be so concerned about leaving a large inheritance if housing costs weren't going to be so expensive for your kids. You seem to be more interested in making things worse for others than making them better for you and your kids.[/quote]
