            Ngl I’m a little bit looking forward to the next housing crash, because maybe then I can finally buy a fucking house for a not-too-insane price.

              I’m right there with you. I feel like everyone I know’s a bunch of hermit crabs lining up to upgrade from soda cans and plastic bottles into real shells

      My local area was hit bad about a year later than everyone else. But once it hit, houses were close to 1/2 the price of what they were going a year earlier + unemployment was up to about 20%. It was VERY bad and I remember trying to get a job in the middle of it. I got lucky and got something around an hour away while quite a it of my social group moved away.
