You got some lego land pieces of bullsheeeeeeit
"First mudda fuckin hurricane come blowing through this mudda fucka you be thinkin you in the wizard of oz"
"You a felt paper kinda nigga. Felt paper owner. Nigga you aint bought a home yet!"
This is from 5 years ago. Those homes start in the low $400 thousand range now. Get your big loan from your jew bank for your shit house. This is why home insurance is so much because the homes basically rot and fall apart. Termites eat through a house like this for lunch. Humidity makes it rot from inside out. The timber is cheap soft pine boards. Pine wood is cheap because pine wood is soft and pine trees grow really fast like weeds. Good lumber comes from strong hard wood trees that grow very slow and are expensive and more rare.
The average home buyer out here doesn't know SHIT about houses and the average real estate agent is just a bimbo whore taking a big 3-5% cut of the sale price and doesn't really know shit about how a home is built or anything about materials either.

Granted you don't want to be a rent slave. But you could probably build a better home just with an axe and a whole year in the woods. a WHOLE YEAR!?!?!??! Yes. A fraction of the 30 years labor you will spend debt enslaved for the shitty pine box you were going to buy.
If you just randomly cut down some trees to mill there's a very high chance that whatever random tree you cut down is better lumber than pine.
Then youre buying all other items are singular price, no bulk savings. Unless youre going to smelt your own nails and screws.
Then there are regulations and building codes that have to be met. Which limits How you can build and materials you can use.
Ultimately its still an expensive endeavor where you have to have about 100k or more cash to get the land, utilities, and build a small cabin.
What are you smoking bro?
Not everywhere. Thankfully there are a few counties in this country where this bullshit is not active. You can just build what you want.
Notice how these fake laws are the only thing which makes your point for you.
Edit: and you can power a decent amount of shit on solar systems now. It’s gotten a lot better.
Renting made me a multi-millionaire. It shifted all the big costs and liabilities (interest, insurance, taxes, maintanence, etc) to the landlord, freeing up my capital to be invested in the stock market, and stocks have overwhelmingly beat the appreciation of housing.
Life can obviously change my mind but right now my thinking is I will rent for life. Here in Toronto I can rent a really nice condo right downtown (so no need for a car) for $2000/month, so that's $24k/year. At a 4% safe withdrawal rate, that's only $600k invested, and my housing is taken care of for life, no broken water heaters, no roofs replaced, no bullshit. And for those that think $600k is a lot, average housing prices in Toronto are over $1 million.
Now the math can always change and if it ever does to favour owning, I will, but right now, that nigger is right, I don't want to own this shit and certainly not for $1 million. That million is worth more to me in the market than in some particle board and plastic siding.
When I gave it up in 2020 (found something I liked in the suburbs for a good deal), I was paying only $1300 because of rent control.
Also keep in mind the 4% safe withdrawal rate also accounts for inflation so you're covered even if the rent goes up.
Redditors are indeed faggots who are innumate and can't do math. To me a house is a place to sleep and keep some stuff, I do not COMSOOM a "home" and fill it with bullshit like funkopops or "Live, Love, Laugh", which is emotional pablum.
