Tiny houses like that cost huge bucks because the federal government is subsidizing huge mortgages. Federal subsidies are were a big cause of the housing bubble — and now they’re trying to keep the inflation going by keeping the subsidies going. The GOP doesn’t seem to be able to kick the spending and subsidizing habit. Really disappointing, but it shouldn’t be surprising, after the years 2000-2006, when Republicans controlled Congress and the White House — and government spending grew more than any time in history.
Although I live in Michigan, I contributed to her as she seemed like a true conservative, but she was co-opted by Boehner, Cantor and McCarthy faster than you can say North Carolina.
Of all the Freshman GOP House members, Renee has been one of the most disappointing.
Why The Democratic Party Is Doomed
Why climategate is a catastrophe for science Copy the last title. Putting it in Google News usually works.
Some noteworthy articles about politics, foreign or military affairs, IMHO, FReepmail me if you want on or off my list.
The GOP establishment is not conservative. We already know that. Almost all of those guys think government is the answer.
I agree that subsidies, including the home interest mortgage deduction, artificially inflate housing proces, and they should all be done away with.
Repulicans don’t stnd for saller, limited government, they only say they do, but once in office we find out the truth.
NC voters have been disastrous since the death of Jesse Helms.
I saw this on Zero Hedge:
Republicans support expensive housing in coastal and vacation meccas. It won’t end.
I know, stockpirate, but out people get irate when we tell the truth, don’t they?
Not again?
How many decades in a row does this make?
House of Representatives, by an overwhelming 292–121 margin, voted to increase funding for the Federal Housing Administration. Just as government debt hit $15 trillion, edging closer to 100 percent of GDP, these self-proclaimed scourges of spending decided Uncle Sam should continue subsidizing mini-mansion mortgage loans -- up to nearly three-quarters of a million dollars.Still no problems with Obamacare, because that's *good* spending. /s
????? ping
Exactly true. McCarthy lives i the New York area. He knows that condos go for $1000/ft. 729,000 is a single bedroom apartment.
well duh, on day one they didnt take a meataxe to the budget, or even mention that it was an option and at least use it as leverage...
nope, just the same ole same, the citizenry watching a two headed coin in perpetual spin...the 'power' party is the varsity, the minority is the JV, they might appear to play rough with each other during practice, but once the game starts, [post election] they always seem to be lined up together on the same sidelines, US vs them...
Tax collections have averaged 17.9% of GDP (Hauser’s Law) independent of tax rates. Spending more than that is guaranteed to run a deficit and increase the national debt. Spending must be reduced below 17.9% of GDP to get things under control.
$750k hardly gets you a mini-mansion in many parts of the country. In NYC you can get a nice one bedroom coop or condo in a good building in a good neighborhood. Buildings require 25-50% cash down payment, so there are very few evictions.
The market is highly competitive, and prices have remained steady, but have not dropped.
A nice house is $3.5 million and up, and they usually sell for the asking price.
Real Estate is very regional and local.
