@bigpey You guys complain that Charles shouldn't be the face of ADA and that he actively hurts the price and now when you think he may step away and take a lesser role you complain. There is nothing he could do to satisfy you.
@WhoreRammer40K@gdholtby@jakehalloran1 Likely something was changed. Tons of servers don't randomly experience the same event without a common trigger. If it was simply a cascading event, it would have been easy to isolate bad servers and remove them from active status.
@kiapita1776@kausmickey LOL. I shared statistical data that refuted your claim that "ordinary people" were not impacted by rising housing costs. I never made a claim about the root causes. I also don't need to, the raw data refutes your claim without needing any additional detail.
@kiapita1776@kausmickey You've moved the goalposts across the field, from claiming that housing affordability isn't impacting ordinary people to now wanting to discuss socioeconomic reasons for lower marriage rates. Just accept the L.
@kiapita1776@kausmickey You ignore national median home prices exceeding wages. You have to go back to 2001 for interest rates to avg. what they are today. This is why the age of First time home buyers has gone from low 30's to 40 over the past 5 years.
@kiapita1776@kausmickey No, because in ordinary cities, home values are still up more than 2x and mortgage rates have also more than doubled. Wages have not. So a 150k house 6 years ago now has a monthly mortgage that is $700+ more a month.
@CRS19@PettyBy_Nature Been great for me, my home value is up 2.5x and I have a mortgage rate locked in at under 2%. Not great for my kids though and all the other young people trying to start their lives.
@CRS19@PettyBy_Nature I don't live in those states, but home prices and interest rates are 2x what they were 6 years ago. Wages have not kept pace. You're overly focused on the "million+" statement and not the fact that over all affordability has decreased.
@CRS19 Last 6 years home prices are up 41% and interest rates have more than doubled, far outpacing wages. You may not like the "starter home" reference but it a fact that homes have rapidly become less affordable.
@CRS19@PettyBy_Nature This is because you don't understand how Zillow defines a starter home. It is defined as a home in the 5-35% of median price in the area it is in. Which means in 242 cities 1 million+ is the entry point to a house. In 2020 it was 80 cities. So a 202% increase in 6 years.
@Bourbon821@GooGwaba@xichop_@KatTimpf She is telling you why R's got crushed in the election. It's not her job to provide a solution, but if you ignore what she is saying, R's are going to get crushed again in 2028.
