With inflation 75k for a house in today's money is 400k. The current median price for an average house sold is closer to 1 mil today. Guess I should've invested in a house while in the womb!

What about for a new home? You have to remember that most of these houses were brand spanking new, and didn't need any repairs for the foreseeable future.

@michaelkustin79907 ай бұрын
50 years later same issue, not enough housings, so build more. However, building more units does not drive down prices. Only times prices were lowered were the late 80's early 90's when defense industries left SD. Then the mortgage crisis around 2008. Both were only short temporary price corrections.
@DefinitelyNotRin7 ай бұрын
Yep, unlikely to ever go down. However, short term increases in prices is not guaranteed anytime soon. But it also could happen tomorrow.

@colleendemaio7 ай бұрын
This will always be the case. If you built a million more homes here, two million more people would try to move here. All overbuilding would do is ruin everything (except the weather) that makes SD a nice place to live. Nice weather is expensive. Anyone who wants a cheap house should move to a rust belt city or somewhere rural. Desirable + cheap is not an option. Only negative population growth will ever change that.

Yeah I was laughing at the part where they were complaining there wasn't enough "affordable housing" in Del Mar. By definition there will never be enough housing below the market rate. The government should just get out of the way and stop trying to ruin beautiful cities. If you can't afford to live in Del Mar, live in the Central Valley like me.

Little over a minute in it's kind of a tip to you that they said to be able to afford a single family home. In other words, they were building single family homes when they should have been building duplexes, Semi-Detach, townhomes. Because the cost of land is to build a single family home. And it was too costly in a time period where they should have been affordable, most places were affordable. California, neglected their problem decades, and it shows here. Californians continue to just raise wages, but never to actually address the issues that raise the cost of living. It's a little bit different nowadays because it's pretty much global and thus should not be compared, completely. It's like this. We know without question that USA pays the most for healthcare and yet our quality of health Care isn't really any better. The cost is so much more than anywhere else in the world. But because we aren't dealing with the cost of health Care, we have poor health outcomes as a result, for a developed Nation, we have a higher infant mortality rate, maternal mortality. And we're actually showing decline in our lifespan, although this could be contributed to covid.
