People want affordable single family housing. CrispBearsWiin said:
For builders, single-family homes are profitable. High-density stuff like townhomes and condos are also profitable, but less so. Builders prefer to build single family homes for this reason; they're in business to maximize profit.RaceBannon said:
I didn't say he did. Incentives to put people in little boxes to ride the bus to their little job aren't needed. Builders build what people want. They make money without your fucking stupid incentives to build what people don't want.2001400ex said:
He didn't say builders needed incentives to make money. Read his quote again.RaceBannon said:And builders don't need incentives to make money. That's hondo fucking stupid
Congrats
I didn't think I needed to spell it out. I was wrong
People want affordable housing. Builders want to maximize profit. This leads to a suboptimal aggregate outcome unless local govt. steps in to provide incentives for builders to build housing that people want, where people want it, for a price they can afford.
That liberal rag The Economist spelled it out pretty clearly many years ago, specifically in reference to Bay Area housing policy. I paid special attention to it at the time because it dealt with how Bay Area local govt. incentives affected the housing market in the Central Valley, and why my parents' efforts to become Modesto property barons in the early 1990's didn't work out the way they hoped.
If they wanted boxes they wouldn't need to be subsidized. If you want affordable housing deregulate. Building codes are for the safety of the population. Beyond that is just fucking up the game -

Most things on your list were previously satisfied by having common sense, a strong work ethic and life experience. All traits millennials have little of and try to replace it with shitty education in stupid fields.Mosster47 said:Millennials know:
20 years of pointless war that was costing over $1B a day at it's peak.
The housing bubble where rich people robbed the American public and the government paid them back 100 cents on the dollar for any short term loss.
Crippling student loan debt to get a job that previous generations never needed a formal education to do, yet still did the job equally well.
There is no more competition. Amazon, Google, eBay, and Netflix won. Seriously, what business are you going to start that some titan doesn't already have a complete monopoly on? A good capitalistic environment is supposed to motivate people to create a job instead of finding one, which went away 40 years ago.
We are generally viewed negatively by most of the established world.
We completely destroyed an entire continent in their lifetime and stirred up a hornets nest that brings terror to everyone's door step.
We can't spare $4M for Meals on Wheels but we need $65B more annually for defense. You know, cause the......fuck we're out of enemies.
The quality of life between working your ass off and not working at all is pretty similar.
Trying to save money with a meager salary to enjoy life when it's already over instead of using it while you can enjoy it is fucking stupid. All you are doing it making someone else rich.
If you work really hard you can be rich one day! 99.9% false.
I can keep going. Millennials are a lot of things, but stupid isn't one of them. They're the best bullshit detectors this nation has ever produced. -
Or just take a six figure job in a place that is dirt cheap to live and has everything I want in life. I'm 34, debt free, have 10 times in the bank what the average Millennial does and I'll retire a millionaire at 57.RaceBannon said:

Weed has already been monopolized by everyone knowing how to grow it. The government fucked up that cash grab.BearsWiin said:
I think the poont is that new industries will be created, not that new companies will challenge established industry leaders. Weed, renewable energy, and hoverboards are still up for grabs.Mosster47 said:
Right, because the fucking internet is going to be invented again.RaceBannon said:There is no more competition. Amazon, Google, eBay, and Netflix won. Seriously, what business are you going to start that some titan doesn't already have a complete monopoly on

How many new major car and oil companies have popped up in the last 50 years that have put a dent in the big boy's wallets?
Ford, Chevy, Chrysler.
Exxon, Shell, BP.
Anymore sound Boomer logic?
Renewable energy is a joke. My holdings in WNDW hit two weeks ago. Thanks for the 212%, but it's a joke. Our president is balls deep in cole.
Hoverboards that catch on fire after three hours?
The internet is already monopolized and the FCC just locked them in.
Millennials will be the generation that brings it all down by waiting for Baby Boomers to die and swooping their retirement dream homes for pennies on the dollar, shopping at thrift stores and outlets, and buying used cars and driving them until they die. The generation after them are even cheaper.
America is easy if you aren't stuck to overpriced cesspools. -

No. I do that for free. I just enjoy coaching football. The stipends are insulting. It amounts to like 35 cents an hour. Our head man makes about $80k and only has to do one hour a day of non-football related work.dnc said:

Plenty of affordable places for millennials to buy homes in Fuckstick, New Mexico.
