Kristina, thank you so much for having me on your show. We're both equally concerned about the affordable housing crisis in America, while expressing different perspectives at the same time. Looking forward to meeting again on Sachs Realty's Tuesday Night Live, October 22nd. 8:00 PM ET. 🙏

Hey Kristina, great guest. I'm a Sachs subscriber. It was a great debate, I always like Todd bc he is so cordial no matter what. I'll be watching you now, too! Todd regularly has guests with which they do not agree, but you can tell they always stay respected and friendly. We're all in this together, after all. You guys today each bring your own separate expertise, very interesting. Thank you

My son quit his teaching job to be a roof inspector, he quadrupled his income, and in addition to being a teacher, he was a coach and had a full time summer job, add all this and he still make 4x. It is hot, super dangerous and exhausting and now they sent him to SC to deal with all the hurricane roofs, it's great money but you have to be young, strong, and fit and not afraid of heights, and can deal with the long hours.

I love the discourse between you and Todd. It's great to hear differing points of view when both your hearts are basically in the same place. I see where you disagree regarding HVAC contractors and tradespeople. I have worked for an HVAC company, and the techs make nothing, but he is probably hiring smaller independent contractors who pay their own liability insurance, taxes, and business expenses. Unless they have a crazy amount of business with unit sales, installs, and steady clientele on new builds, they probably aren't doing that much better in the end. There is a lot of overhead in the trades. I hope you have him on again. Micheal Bordinaro would be a great guest, too.

Thanks for your comment. Working for the National builders it’s all about price I get it. That’s where you see the highest turnover in low waged workers. Small businesses appreciate skill, need help, and will pay higher wages. In industries such as HVAC, most run highly profitable service work. Like any employer, if you’re not taken care of as an employee, you get another job. The point was that most Americans don’t want labor intensive work.

@@ovrjoyd thank you for being a part of the stream today and participating in the chat. Thank you for sharing your experience with this as well. My husband worked in roofing for a period of time. They got $125 a square of each home was 25 squares with a crew of 5 split that with the main crew and insurance these people are not really making that much. It’s hard work in the hot sun to do that. The owner makes money the workers, not so much. Btw they only get an hour break as well for a whole days work.

@@KristinaSmallhorn In the HVAC industry, I think it worked out to about $15 per hour even though they were paid by the job. I think the customer service staff made slightly less and worked in air-conditioned comfort.

Great show. I watch Todd's gloom and doom KZbin channel as well as Kristina's show. The truth probably lies somewhere between Todd and Kristina. Homes are unaffordable, but buyers are also unrealistic in what they expect to buy with the salaries they have. Buy a one-bedroom condo, live there 5 years, build equity, sell and move up in home to a bigger place. Whatever you do, don't be house poor.

@@serenacoronado9822 you can try. The worst they can say is “no”. This strategy doesn’t typically work in traditional buying and selling mostly because the sellers isn’t naive in the homes worth. I have seen many wholesalers do this and they end up meeting in the middle if the home has significant damage.

Your guest keeps saying he can't hire anyone to work & does not know anything, I hear him. However who's fault is that? People who run our countries have taken away labor rights, education & jobs. They promise to create jobs but do not support the foundation to educate our future workforce & there's no support.

It's abundantly clear that facts are optional to Mr Sachs, particularly in his remarks about blue-collar work. The political undertones of this discussion, while inevitable, were fairly uncomfortable, perhaps exacerbated by the fact that I am at the 42 minute mark patiently waiting for the question posed by the video title to be answered. Regardless, thank you Kristina for addressing this 🙏

I really don’t like this guest. I used to watch him but he’s very doomer and very impractical. He doesn’t think about creative solutions and is very polarizing. His thoughts on regulations aren’t forward thinking either. He couldn’t care less about environmental, energy, or human health costs that regulations are in place for. Could they have a commission to speed up paperwork and designs etc. yes and that would be cutting bureaucracy down. But the deregulation he wants is dangerous in the long term which is what we need to think about.
