Beggars can’t be choosers: The ugly reality of the US housing market

Forced to give up their dreams of a “real house,” first time home-buyers set their sights lower, and ex-homeowners muscled out of the market by Covid-19-related job losses have to do the same. The need is great enough that these once-derided mobile homes are now achieving mainstream respectability, according to USA Today – but profit-hungry private equity firms have been buying up stakes in the companies that own these trailer parks for years, going long on the collapse of the American dream.

    And now imagine my home town of Louisville Colorado. The housing market already went through the roof, prices have gone sky-high.
    And then a fire, 1084 homes burned, and all those people need to find a place to live. NOW, and for the next three to five years while everything is hopefully being rebuilt.
    Scary times. I am glad I still have a home.
