Who are they building houses for? Have American's had that many babies 20-30 years ago that all these folks are now wanting to buy homes?
Or is it, that so many people(Liberals, Democrats, sh*tty leftists) are moving out of the cities, counties, and states that they destroyed with the disastrous policies they've been pushing and supporting for years and they need a new place to live? Mainly, Southern and midwestern locales that have/had it good before they started invading?
Coastal South Carolina, from Myrtle Beach heading south, is getting so overdeveloped that it's almost impossible to drive around the place. Places like Murrell's Inlet, once a nice, laid back, slow and cozy area is being destroyed with out of control development....Question: Can you build on wetlands? I thought wetlands were protected from such.
And of course, so many city councils and county commissions are completely incapable of saying NO MORE to any developer. The same developer that promises all sorts of tax revenue from all the development. Tax revenue that really never comes to fruition, as more folks means more money going out and a communities entire "personality", for lack of a better term, is destroyed.
One need only look around metro Atlanta and in the city to see what a disaster these builders are. They can't pass up an opportunity to build 20 houses on 5 acres of land.
Afraid a lot is Section 8.
Here is an issue and take this into consideration. A local town can fight developers only so much without bankrupting the town. Also, near where I live, if you have a farm you cannot afford to run it or pay the taxes on it or you cannot pay the death tax on it you sell it for a good price and retire. At what point do you tell the rightful owner what they can and can't do with their land?
Let’s Go Brandon!
Nationwide, builders have not built enough homes for about 10 years. Some of this is due to builders figuring out that they made better money building fewer expensive homes than building more lower priced ones. This worked due to the Boomer generation reaching the age to buy their dream homes. A lot of those homes are becoming overnight/short term rentals now, and the owners are doing very well if they are pros at the business.
There’s a lot of housing demand right now from Millenials. No prior generation has made good money as early in life as they have, and dual income households are more prevalent than ever. Some also have parental help with down payments, etc.
It will take some years to return to supply/demand for housing to what is considered “normal”. In a “normal” residential market it takes an average of 90 days for a home to go under contract. Let’s see when we reach that number again.
People are trying to escape hell holes that they may or may not have helped create. Secondly, everyone is having dogs instead of kids because they do not know the value and blessing of children and the word sacrifice is limited to not having a latte one morning.
The World wants to be here...that is what I figure.
The pigs feed where the food is free and people are too I'll informed to vote him out.
On another note.. 1/2 the population works home construction or has a riding mower and a weed whacker mowing other people's lawns.
Fwiw Horry county is fat with ny, nj, pa, Delaware, Virginia, Maryland retired old people's 401k's.
Governments are forbidden to build on wetlands or they just make rovisions to buy/protect or restore other wetlands.
States may have laws n their books to prevent private developers from doing so but there’s a out.
We were approached by a business to “help” our erosion on our farms creeks. What they say really did was rechannel small creeks into wet grass ways that looked nothing like creeks. And they get to sell the reclaimation rights to big developers who use it to offset destruction of real wetlands.
It’s all a fracking scam. We said no to them.
