    Now those homes slowly rot and lose value and become dangereous to live in.

    As a result rich people can’t run airbnbs. Capitalists are losing in long term for pride/greed/incompetence.

    At this rate they will require government subsidies breaks to rebuild them later. All because those selfish low-to-middleclass people aren’t taking 50 year mortgages.

        To an extent. But I can buy a house for like 25% of the typical cost around here for a 1986 property versus a recent build, even with comparable location and land area.

        Varies by locale, in LA the value of structures are likely a rounding error, in the middle of nowhere, the structure is nearly everything.
