Stupid that we aren’t yet doing it
They should start building china style huge apartment buildings.
fuck you. Like living in a cramped apartment where you can hardly move around is more ideal than making it so that people can actually retire and actually make college loans affordable. No one should aspire to live in a Chinese style apartment.
Fuck you twice
120k$/might which is bullshit easy to reach doe ending on what you do and where you are and how good you are at your job.
Lol, no it isn’t. I make that now, can’t afford a house anywhere near a city where a job like that is available.
Single Family Homes are the epitome of wasteful toxic individualism and your yearning for one marks you as a selfish, toxic person.
Do you seriously think minimum wage workers could afford that if that was the US?
Lol fuck yourself clown, tiny apartments are fine

Idk about China’s style, but we do have high rises. And Washington state is on a state level encouraging building higher density in urban areas. This has led to increased density zoning, and is expected to lead to, in the not too distant future, an area that was once single family housing to be rezoned for high rises.

so people who get reimbursed (The Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution mandates that if the government takes private property for public use, the government must provide “just compensation.” In Kohl v. United States, 91 U.S. 367 (1875), the Supreme Court held that the government may seize property through the use of eminent domain, as long as it appropriates just compensation to the owner of the property. Source: www.law.cornell.edu/wex/eminent_domain) will just move to where their careers provide stability as well as being able to afford a single family home.
If you can afford a home and all that comes with owning one, do it up. Nothing wrong with being a home owner.

The government isn’t tearing houses down, simply permitting larger multi family dwellings in neighborhoods specifically targeted for growth. Those areas in Seattle are usually along the light rail line, and elsewhere are closer to city centers.
Most who sell will move to more suburban areas elsewhere, often in town, others will move to something like a townhouse, but regardless there will be more residences available in higher desirability areas
