The housing market is in the absolute dumps

10. Beginning in the middle 1980's,

housing prices began skyrocketing. Living in Seattle at the time, I watched as homes in good neighborhoods went from around $80,000 to almost double that in less than two years. It was so bad that when a home under a 100,000 hit the market, it would be sold before the ad had been up for an hour. Some were selling without ever coming on the market at all.
The real basic reason for this? Greed. Plain and simple greed. Housing in america is not seen as the basic right it is, but as a privilege. Seen as a privilege, coupled with the twisted prosperity gospel nonsense that many so called evangelical christian churches preach and greed, it is no longer an affordable option to buy for many.
