Mainecat Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Millennials spend their money stupidly. Spending 23.00 to have grub hub deliver your 15.00 pizza instead of picking it up yourself. 15.00 drinks out 3 times a week instead of one time. 18.00 for fancy hamburger and fries.

My road for example has a 4ac minimum to build. The yuppie town I grew up in has a lot minimum too and recently put up a big fuss about a work force housing project being potentially built.

Median household income in NH is 88,235 median home cost 500k do the math the average family can’t afford an average house in NH. 88,235 median income, 28% of income toward mortgage 2,059 a month payment they can afford. 500k home, 20% down, 380k loan 2,528, average property tax in NH 6k yr 500 month, total mortgage payment 3,028 a month more than 1k more than the average family can afford you see the problem yet?

My town has been slammed with cluster development since an ultra liberal planning board had the steering wheel for a few years. I used to live next to Richmond in Fitzwilliam.

I just agree with the article that the housing shortage has at least some to do with the way zoning is here in NH. I drive through Amherst often and I always see a new town house hoa place going up. My bud moved from Amherst couple years ago because it was getting to built up to much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have no land where people want to live/where their are good jobs and no ones willing to sell because there is nothing to buy. I want to downsize from my 3900 sf house to something around 2k. I could get $1m or so on the sale but to buy something new would cost me minimum of 800kk. they are building a small pocket neighborhood down the street from me, 1.35m for a 2000 sf modern cape. I sold an unpermitted lot last year for $285k 20 min off the coast. on the coast i'd have to pay 500 for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crnr2Crnr Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 what's wrong with a 'starter home' these days? that's what I bought in 1996 for $51k. gutted it, remodeled it while I lived in it and eventually turned it into a rental. was it in the nicest neighborhood or a highly desirable neighborhood? was I 'proud' of my home? did any of that matter to me personally? fuck no! sold it a couple years ago and between rent collected and appreciation did pretty well. imo we live in a 'want' driven society... everyone wants, few want to earn it the hard way.
