So - home prices are through the home's roof and mortgage rates are so high if you do the math over the term of the loan you're probably giving the bank . . . oh god. Don't do the math. It's fucking depressing. Main thing is, housing is #unaffordable for most folk, with "most" growing bigger by the day.

Overall, Americans are paying 11% more for #electricity than they were in January, though that number varies widely: Costs have risen 37% in Missouri but have fallen in 3 states by as much as 13%, #NEADA found.
“With prices going up so rapidly, electricity is becoming #unaffordable in many parts of the country,” said Mark Wolfe, an #energy economist & exec dir of NEADA. “And it isn’t just lower-income households anymore; it’s spilling into the middle class.” -

Renting in #Maine is #unaffordable, but it’s the best option in #NewEngland
by Kathleen O'Brien July 23, 2025
"Someone earning minimum wage needs to work 61 hours a week to afford a modest one-bedroom apartment in Maine.
"Maine, like last year, was ranked 26th, which makes it more affordable than any other state in New England. That’s because someone needs to earn $28.42 per hour to afford a two-bedroom unit in Maine — nearly double Maine’s current minimum wage of $14.65 — according to the study."

The benchmark real estate price for Single Family homes in my region (Port Alberni and West Coast of Vancouver Island, Canada) has risen 78% in the past 5 years. From an average purchase price of $295,900 to $528,400.
Why?
No good reason really... it’s just because everywhere else nearby has already gone through the same process. Homes are investments, not places you live.

Bite me, Republican Fascist Scrooges. Half of our #renters are shite out of roofs. The #GOP is now pro-homeless. 🤬
#Housing is now #unaffordable for a record #half of all U.S. renters.
A new Harvard analysis finds people across income levels got squeezed by #renthikes during the pandemic. The market has lost millions of low-rent places, and new #construction is mostly high-end. -

The #unaffordable cost of mobile phones:
"If the #iPhone X were made in the United States, it would be unaffordable for the vast mass of
the world’s population. One estimate suggests that if the iPhone were made in the #UnitedStates, it would cost at least $30,000 per phone.https://thetricontinental.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/190928_Notebook-2_EN_Final_Web.pdf

The last time houses in the UK were as unaffordable as they are today was yesterday.

I hate, hate, HATE the #term “affordable #housing.” I hate that we’ve #normalized it. I hate that we just accept that the #majority of housing, a basic #human right, is #unaffordable to much of the #population. Housing should be affordable as a baseline. If rich people want to add arcades and gold-plated hot tubs on top so be it, but #everyone, everyone, regardless of income level, should have access to a clean, comfortable #home with enough light and space to make #life worth #living.
