"Shrink-flation' is the least of our worries compared to rising rents and stagnant wages, but it is an undeniable indicator of how bad our inflation has gotten. I have $100k that i like to invest in a non-retirement account, any advice on that?

I think the safest strategy is to diversify investments. Like spreading investments across different asset classes, like bonds, real estate, and international stocks, they can reduce the impact of a market meltdown

I’m from San Francisco, another equally expensive city. I moved to NYC in 2017 and I remember my friend lived in a one bedroom in Kensington for $1500 and another friend lived in UES for $1600. At the time, that was still high but nowadays I can’t find anything under $3000 a month. Meanwhile, my salary hasn’t changed a whole lot in this time period. I couldn’t understand it. I even tried looking further east but I draw the line at Crown Heights, BedStuy, etc. Any further east and I may as well live on Long Island. I kept thinking what am I doing wrong. Why can’t I afford anything. The comparison of the median rent in what used to be an affordable BK neighborhood helped me see I’m not doing anything wrong. Rent more than doubled in less than a decade while income hasn’t increased much at all. Wowowwow

The problem is multifaceted. The corporate interest in the rental market has ruined everything. Landlords leave units empty creating a false scarcity. Then they just increase the rents to make more money rather than renting out everything. There’s also no competition anymore. Landlords can just keep all the prices high due to fixed pricing. When we get wall street out of services need to live, things will be better.

The worst thing we ever did was allow corporations to buy up America's real estate. It's directly to blame for this issue. People talk about zoning issues and "not having enough inventory," but this is all corporate propaganda. I'm totally for revamping our zoning laws and agree that it causes a lot of housing shortage problems. The true culprit is the cult of corporation that wanted to turn the real estate market into a new stock market.

The part about people not voting if they can't change their address due to housing instability is eye opening and something I never thought about until now. It also made me realized just now that my nephew has never voted. I kinda forgot being able to vote is tied to where you live/what your documented address is. He lived in new york and registered to vote there, but he moved with my sister to Connecticut. For years we've been getting his mail telling him to go vote, and I'm only just now realizing this means he never updated his voting address, and so he hasn't been able to vote this whole time because he hardly visits nyc anymore. He is the type to "not vote for anyone" but I also think it's due to laziness or not knowing how to change your registration. I'll ask him about it when I see him next.

@thebudgeteconomist 2 ай бұрын

Sorry to break it to you but no. If he hasn’t voted its because he doesn’t want to. He could’ve registered in CT when he moved. If changing address is “too much work” he could apply for absentee ballot if he still has a valid NY ID but he’ll have to actually show up to NY to cast a vote. I think you’re own the right track when you mention laziness. We’re talking maybe 1 day at the dmv and a few minutes online.

There needs to be some serious looks into what is driving up rents. I think that there should be some serious looks into these rent setting software companies like RealPage. There are about 3 rent price setting software companies that are used by nearly every landlord. You can see situations where like 90% of rentals in Boerum Hill could have their rent set by the same company. Absolutely wild & dangerous economic systems.

Realistically you probably want a bit more than that to be financially responsible. The average person in NYC isn't making 120k a year.

NYC could probably fix this whole problem if they built new developments on all of the surface parking lots. i feel like it really isn't that confusing of a problem, more housing, that's it. all of it does make me wonder though, seems like the entirety of the US stopped building decades ago. a vast majority of our towns and cities are stuck in the past by decades, nothing new built, nothing new anything. how did these areas even grow in the first place? this country needs to start building again and creating a new identity for ourselves or were all dead

How you make a video on the housing crisis and never, not even once, suggest that perhaps, just possibly, we should build more housing... This stems from a total rejection of market economics. Too many on the left think that rents are skyrocketing because landlords are greedy. With this is the implicit belief that at some point in the past, when rents weren't skyrocketing, landlords were generous and compassionate. Bullshit. Landlords have always been greedy, but that greed can't make someone accept a bad deal. A housing shortage can because people don't have any other option. If we build more housing, they will have options and landlords will have to compete for tenants. NYC has tons of capacity for density, they need to unlock the power of the market. Rent control and rent stabilization is just shuffling around seats on the titanic. You're making a small number of people more comfortable while the city sinks into the abyss. BUILD MORE HOUSING.

@@TomikaKelly Cost of living was low in the 80-90s but they made minimum wage the entire time. The point was people spend on useless crap for appearances sake. As for trying to attack my parents for not hiring an econ tutor (what?)? Why would they need to, both me and my sister graduated with finance degrees and also own our houses. Even my cousin who was a waiter his entire life also owns multiple multi family homes in queens.

@@VendieSolde He’s not stating him or his family is better than us. What he means is the culture is different and prioritizing ownership and family is higher. If his folks lived in a community of their peers chances are they do not need to speak English. My folks are the same way and worked their way up financially. They bought a rental property yrs later. I bought a couple rental properties out of state. NYC is not landlord friendly. Don’t be surprised in a few yrs some migrants become landlords.

They kinda had me until "oh, my mom is the last black lady in this building" so other people can't live there based on their race? Neighborhoods change, they rise and fall in NYC, its always been this way.

I think you missed the point lol. She’s saying that the price has gone up so high that most black New Yorkers can’t afford to live there. Because yes race and financial status do correlate believe it or not. These things are easily researchable if you’re genuinely interested in what affects a different race than yours.
