So glad I was able to restore this historical footage to post here... and the second part... yeah no excuse for that my bad my blunder. We're almost at 900k followers which is insane!!! Thanks guys and hope you have a great week!!
Thy self must be applaud my good sir for it is you that has made our hearts filled with laughter, I shall take this moment to thank thee for my good chuckles and amusement. Keep up the hard work.
Bro I'm going to be buried while still living with my parents. They will be walking skeletons asking me when I'm moving out. Mom, I DIED TEN YEARS AGO MOVE ON!
Crisis? Bruh a crisis is a temporary event. As long as owning land is a basic investment strategy with guaranteed returns, this is going to be the situation. So...forever.
Not really. This interpretation pretends that housing in the U.S. used to be affordable 100+ years ago and it somehow changed. 100+ years ago the majority of the lower class that currently can't afford houses today wouldn't be able to afford them back then. Not only could they not afford them, it was WAY worse. These people would work 60+ sometimes 80 hours a week to go home to a dogshit apartment shared with multiple other families the size of a single couples house that can be afforded on 2 working people with median income. The real scourge is the thought single family housing is the end all be all. We have such a good capability to house our people cheaply, but no one wants to zone for apartment buildings. They don't want apartment buildings because it drives housing prices down.
@@nex8000 Yeah, there were definitely a wider range of housing options in the early 20th century, and it is by choice that they have been eliminated. I live in a mid size city, and essentially there is nothing between $1200 a month and being homeless unless someone qualifies for section 8. That $1200 a month is almost basically the entirety of a low wage worker's income, so by necessity roommates are needed. Another complication is that as a society individuals are more and more socially isolated, and more and more people have drug and alcohol addiction, so finding roommates is much harder than in the past. I think the idea that one should move out from their parents as soon as possible is causing a lot of harm. In many societies you don't move away from your family until you are ready to start a family of your own. I noticed that most of the new immigrants to America our generally doing better than urban Americans because they pool their resources into shared homes and family businesses. In summary the rental exploitation we see now is enabled by the ever growing isolation of the individual.
@@nex8000 people are still working 60+ hours a week and have jack shit to show for it tho? Back then you could at least be persistent and get a job at a big company unlike now where you need a bachelors degree to make like $16 an hour
True, some house prices really are absurd. Like I saw this two bedroom house once, and they deadass wanted a weekly rent of $720. Thing is, the place wasn't even that nice. Like it wasn't absolute shit, but it definitely wasn't anywhere near as fancy to justify that kind of price.
Every landlord I’ve ever had has been a boomer who when they were young had $70 a month rent and was able to save money and get ahead because of their affordable housing and cheap af college tuition. Then when they got ahead they did not do the same for us and instead jacked the prices of everything sky high, even if you account for inflation. My grandmother always says that my generation doesn’t work hard but that’s because there’s nothing to work towards. Everything feels so out of reach.
Yea. Tuition increases because they are in an insulated market, unaccountable to their consumers, and guarantee that no matter what they charge, the govt will back a loan for the difference. And then tuition skyrockets and it's like "What a surprise! The country is convinced they have to have our product at any cost... and the govt says they will cover it no matter the cost... and the cost went up?!?!?" Shocking.
A boomer wanted me to work in his shop for free because I am a lazy millenial who wants stuff for free and I should be grateful for the opportunity to know hard work. He even tried to make the case where I should be paying him.
Yeah but he did paint the fuse box again so there's that. 🤷 I worked for a property management company for a few years doing repairs and the amount of actual maintenance was embarrassing. The things they would focus on while ignoring tenants request 🤦
I had a decent mgmt company for like five years who did actual maintenance, and then a company came in, raised rents more than the old one ever did, stopped performing maintenance, painted the buildings a hideous color, and then advertised it as "newly renovated luxury apartments".
@@guiltriple Sadly that is the business plan for some of these management companies. Get more income for owners by raising rent and saving owners money by not maintaining. Many owners care but don't see that their buildings are getting run down over time. Good luck out there 👍
Previous tenant in my unit shattered the glass shelves inside the refrigerator. I put in a notice on my move in inspection and made a maintenance request to get them replaced...last year. I understand the manufacturer may not make the part anymore, or they'd have to go through management to make an order, or they just don't want to replace the whole fridge, but c'mon. All of my food is still sitting piled up at the bottom of the fridge. Good news is my rent is increasing in a couple months!
I'm an electrician and the amount of calls we get for apartments where I have to cut through 37 layers of paint to get at the breakers is astounding. Sometimes they paint right over the outlets so nothing can be plugged in. On top of that properties seem to change management, if not yearly then every couple years a new company is running the show. And these companies are the same. They call for an issue, we come out, find out that their meter is falling apart or the wire is disintegrating or something. We tell them what's wrong and recommend we fix it, they ask for an estimate, turn it down, 3 months later we are back at that same apartment and diagnose the same issue.
My parents were livid when they heard how much I was paying for rent. When I told them what the market rates were, their genius solution was to simply ‘buy a house’. Like I hadn’t thought of that before 😑
If you can afford rent consistently for 10 years, you can afford a mortgage. That should be taken into consideration when buying a home first time. The metrics they use to show the lender you are a good fit is so not accurate to how people live. Good luck to you. My husband and I made good money combined with almost perfect credit, and a healthy savings account, but because he is undocumented, I had to have my sister co-sign. Without her- I’d still be renting. My mortgage is less than my rent. The whole thing is so messed up. It’s taken us years to save up enough to even get here- alts the while paying rent consistently on time.
@@andrewjazdzyk1215 Yeah that’s exactly my point. The metrics they use to determine if your worthy of a loan is not right. If you’ve been paying rent for 10 years on time- and it is around the same amount as the mortgage, it should be taken into account. But it’s not. Makes it more difficult to qualify for a loan.
Just remember, kids, most landlords probably disagreed with the housing racketeering when they were younger, and actually made it worst when they got to that position.
@@squidvis it's not a boomer thing. Every generation does it. Your pal next to you all empathetic when you play with them or go out with them, really into discussing politics and stuff, it's gonna be the next bastard landlord. For real.
Don't forget landleeches charging "application/processing/viewing/screening/credit check" fees just for tenants to be CONSIDERED for a lease. You get 10 tenants and charge them $100 a piece that's $1000 they just stole and maybe none of them even get the place.
Omg yes!! Such a scam and is legal! They say to put you on a "waiting" list that most likely never gonna call you and get all your money probably they dont even put you on their system is horrible!
Yeah. It really is dystopian levels of fucked up when you have to pay exorbitant fees in order to to get the opportunity for someone to consider letting you pay them exorbitant rent. Considering homes should be a human right, the loops we have to jump through just to get a roof over our heads is legitimate cruelty.
My landlord charges $750 to sublease. When I looked at the reasoning in the contract for the cost, it says the $750 is to cover the "Labor" costs of the landlord signing the documentation. Their time is apparently worth $750 per signature.
The other day my neighbor came to my house. She’s about to be 90. She was telling me about how when she was young she lived in Greenwich Village in a brownstone with a back yard and multiple bedrooms for something like $90 a month. Then suggested I definitely move to NYC. I just thanked her for her advice.
@@Camelotsmoon but it's fine because wages have also gone up x40 in the same time right.... I mean to be fair wages have gone up x10 since the 60's. so it's only x4 more difficult to afford.
@@DavidBennell Ah yes but don't forget the bullshit fees they've made up now. Wanna pay your rent? Well you gotta also pay us $50 for the convenience of doing so. Wanna apply? Thatll be $50. Oh, you also have to make 3-4x the rent every month to qualify. Everything looks great, but just for luck were also going to hard check your credit so it drops 30 points just because you had the audacity to need to live somewhere.
As someone from a small European country, I'm really surprised to see the USA even has a housing crisis. From my perspective, you guys have an insane amount of space and land over there. My country is so densely populated which makes it understandable for there to be a housing crisis. But America doesn't have any excuse to be in a housing crisis. Clearly the market has fucked itself to an unacceptable level. The American people must rise up and stop this nonsense.
This is only in blue democrat cities I would say I feel bad for the biden voters but I don't, only problem is they now want to try move to red states & bring this with them
It’s insanely fucked up. The media is talking about a “housing shortage” but in reality, there’s just a shortage of small homes. Millennials don’t need and generally can’t afford a 4 bedroom house in the suburbs, so we’re all competing over the tiny number of small houses, townhouses, and multi-family units. They’re still building McMansion developments all over the place, but that’s not what we need. Unfortunately building multi-family housing is illegal in many areas because laws were written to make sure everyone gets a white-picket-fence neighborhood and doesn’t have to look at multi-family housing. And they won’t fix it because there’s too much money to be made gouging renters for all we’re worth.
They're living in an oligarchy that's bleeding the population dry for all its worth. Resources mean jack shit if you purposely mismanage them to benefit one set of people at the detriment of another.
Literally looking for a place to live right now. Current living situation is raising rent $400 a month after we've only lived there for 1 year. Tell them we're not interested in renewing our lease and then they send us an email asking what they could do to encourage us to stay.. This video hits close to home lol
Accept the deal upon giving a paper signature. Review the lease, put a nice little negative sign (-$400) in front of that four hundo and BAM you got yourself a nice lil' situation where they owe YOU money ;)
Someone give this man a TV show for fuck sake! Absolutely brilliant, nobody else can get me crying with laughter in 1 minute or under. You do it every time, absolutely class mate! Thanks!
Is this the new "give this comedian a netflix show ASAP"? Why do you think he is so good? Exactly because of his reality and his total control and freedom. Nowp utting him on A TELEVISION SHOW? Don't come with obsolete ideas, ffs.
@@GuiiBrazil yeah a lot of people think a TV/Netflix show will improove quality and enjoiableness but barely everyone thinks about what it really does to most creative minds
You know, the RPG series Shadowrun is set in this dystopian cyberpunk future where crime runs rampant, and corporations have these giant skyscrapers with shops, bars, and apartments to house their employees who aren't paid with money, but rather a credit system. Work this long, you earned your rent, work this long, you get to go out for drinks, work this long eat a steak, that kind of thing. In return, employees never get to leave the skyscraper, the company knows where they are at all times, when they sleep and even have mandatory implants to track thoughts, because employees signed a waver that denies them every personal freedom if the company desires. AND THAT'S STILL A BETTER DEAL THAN HOUSING IN AN AMERICAN CITY TODAY, WTF?????
I'm sure if enough people see this, you'll get someone telling you this actually happened to them. I've heard some crazy, stupid shit working in restaurants
@@ken_kaniff246 I can imagine 😅. Like someone said, imagine how stupid the average person you meet is, then to think the majority is even more stupid. 😱
im literally on the verge of homelessness, fighting to buy the house my fam has lived in for 12+ years while our landlord is trying to sell it from under us. This sketch hit home but was funny as hell! Keep up the great work. Edit: it's a rent to own lease agreement
@@dying2survive298 what the fuck does that even mean like I would like you to extrapolate more. That is such a bullshit blanket statement that means absolutely nothing.
You do realize they also lived on like 10 cents a day right ? Rent was cheaper back then, but they also made less money and everything also cost less in comparison today..
@@jankoleon3785 I do realize that, but housing costs have risen insanely proportionally. So if we really gonna go to this over a youtube comment: I really liked the last part where the property owner entities did what ever that was, but sure looked like some nasty-ass-coitus-dominating move to fuck the people looking for a space to live in Manhattan, but the logic can be applied any "undisclosed-growthcenter-place-with-"opportunities"" This is happening globally. And for this claim of yours " everything also cost less in comparison today.." is mostly incorrect. Sure, the relative price for food is low and relatively clean water is available. But electricity, gassoline, taxes, insurances, "family costs" for example school, daycare and what nots are a cross the board proportionally larger than what the wages haven risen from the days depicted in the fantastic video. And do not get me started on medical costs, if and when those take place.
Not sure about everywhere else, but in Michigan some employers will give you like a 1% cost of living increase every year, but landlords can increase your rent up to 6% every year. Then I look at houses for sale and not only do they look run down and like they are falling apart, but they want a down payment that is equal to or more than a whole year’s worth of rent. Why?
The banks don’t want to be stuck holding the bag when you declare bankruptcy on the mortgage, at which point the bank soon discovers that the only price they can get is about 20% less than what you paid for the house.

well, $5k was the average salary back in 1960 so you could buy a house with 1 year's pay.... if the same were true today you could buy a house for $52k.
I’m Australian, same issue here. Been watching a looootttt of videos about living in a car. Used to watch tiny houses, but honestly, even that is too expensive. God help us all.
Fellow Aussie! Moved out of home last year. Prices are insane here, and I'm on the Dole. My Grandma got me to come over to discuss budgeting last year. I wrote out the costs of everything, and I had about $10 left over to save a week. Granny just looked sort of sad because there wasn't anything really to be cut out of my budget lmao, I only got essential items.
My grandmother Luz Figueroa (1923-2016) rented a two-bedroom in the 1940s for $30/mo in MANHATTAN; I didn't believe her until My aunt said they moved in the 1950s next to Central Park near billionaires row ☠💀 they were Puerto Rican and poor too, so even adjusting for inflation things were a lot more in reach for the average person. I was born in the mid-90s, and I now live in Public Housing because the cheapest ROOM, even in the Bronx, is unaffordable, and I don't have a family.
It was actually easier for my husband and I to buy a house than to get into an apartment. I spent an arm and a leg on tons of apartment applications for us to be denied over and over. It was always bs reasons, like, "not enough apartment experience" like wtf? We were on the verge of homelessness and completely broke. An acquaintance of ours was a loan officer and we had him look at out credit score, etc. He happily told us we qualified and we found a house. Did the first time buyer loan so we didn't need a down payment. All I paid was for the inspection... it was cheaper than getting into an apartment... how is that possible? Absolutely mind boggling to this day. Maintain your credit score people, it could save your life!
oh depend on situation, houses are seen as safer investment and more long term. most apartment in cities are priced for their location and proximity to work and services. and for buying, apartments depreciates as they get older, for houses the land they sits on often increase in value far faster than the depreciation of the house building. For example, buy a house for $100,000 and decades later the house can be on the edge of collapse and worthless but the land value is $500,000.
@@abigailloar956 that’s interesting lol maybe there’s hope for me yet. I live in the west coast but I heard it’s not a good time to buy a house for the next couple of years anyways
The last time i went to an affordable housing meeting in my city. Mayor - Trust me having the developer set aside 5 units at 30% off will solve the affordable housing problem. Me - What's the base rent? Mayor - $2600 a month + utilities. Me- So there will be 5 affordable units at 1820 a month.... Mayor - Plus utilities. Me - ....out of the 200 units they plan to build.... Mayor - .... Me - ...
Funny thing is every suburb in every city is putting up tower blocks with 200+ units. It's a massive ponzi scheme and the ass will fall out of it very soon
When a good portion of the companies buying up all the property and charging outrageous rates are called "holdings" companies, you have to realise the wrong turn capitalism took in allowing this to be normalized. Its like naming a nursing home "soylent green", it kinda gives away the intention.
We left capitalism long ago. This is some mix of Government Corporatism. Most things that suck now days are a combination of the elite business owners circle jerking with the elite politicians and screwing everyone else. It's like the worst mix of capitalism and statism
@@MansterBear Thank you. I've been trying to tell people that the majority of our terms are being used to gaslight us. "Noo this is just capitalism" while they spend trillions bailing corporations out. "China is evil communism so you should hate communism" while they maintain a dictatorship/oligarchy. "You're lazy" when you're just poor. "You're depressed" when you're just dissatisfied with the way things are. "You're a liberal" when you just want healthcare.
@@Tomas-bd9uv Yea. I mean I'm definitely on the right, but language has been so manipulated in my lifetime that's almost meaningless now too. Which I think is the point. It's like 1984, they want to control the language, which allows them to control your expression. I do think a pure capitalism would be preferable to a pure communism, mainly because I think pure capitalism actually gives the average person more freedom and power than communism does. But I also know that what we call "capitalism" is actually more like this oligarchy type thing you described. I just think a "too big" govt is still more threatening than a "too big" corporation. And I think the worst case scenario is having "too big" of both of them, which is what we have now. A corporation doesn't have an army, or police, and can't physically control you. But when the corporation teams up with a govt, then you have the worst of both worlds. A company that can use the govt to for you to buy a product they sell, aka Big Pharma with Big Govt. So we end up with a situation like last year... you can't go to work unless you inject yourself with this product that Pfizer makes. Then Pfizer sponsors every "news" show on TV for 6 months. Strange coincidence...

@@jankoleon3785 I think everyone knows that but the problem is salaries havent increased in proportion to properties hell you don't even have to go that far look at rent and mortgages vs salaries 30 years ago compared to now
The house we live in belonged to one family. We bought the appartement in the middle and the one under the roof got bought by a corporate landlord. And now.. 2 years after he bought it.. He Just sells it for a higher price.. the rent he gets from it is not worth the trouble, so he Just buys and sells.... He wasn't interrsted at all, He didnt want to Talk to any of us. About buying fuel, about how to care for the house etc Meanwhile people wanting to work here have problems finding a place to live.. We where really lucky because we rented the appartement and when the people owning it wanted to sell, we had the pre-emption right to buy. Luckily interest rates where way down a year ago
2:10 is the best impression of a corporation I've ever witnessed! Phenomenal characterization down to the very last detail! There's also something (je ne sais quoi) oddly intriguing about hearing the sounds of... "intense gratification" along to the Gerudo Valley soundtrack. Consequently, I'm imagining having to edit this video of yourself performing this scene and considering what soundtrack to include because it can't go without one! I bet that was fun.
I feel it. I work 60 hours a week and don't earn enough to qualify to rent an efficiency unit, which is basically a walk-in closet attached to a half bathroom. In Iowa.
Somethings not adding up there. even at minimum wage at 60 hours a week you should be able to afford a shitty apartment unit in most states, especially in Iowa since it should be a pretty low cost state. Are you sure you don't have any bad spending habits leading to large portions of your income missing? at minimum wage and 60 hours a week you should be making about 2k a month. That should be enough to afford a shitty apartment assuming you are using your money responsibly . And if you convinced somebody you could find a 2bedroom and split it for even cheaper to save on money. Or do you just live with family currently and don't think you have the financial stability to move out?
@@nex8000 I've never applied for credit and I pay my bills on time. That is two strikes against anyone who wishes to rent or purchase property because the only true commodity is debt.
@@faust167I'm going to assume you just live with your parents based on the way you are talking so you probably don't have much experience doing all this, you also probably watched a few too many Dave Ramsay videos. You don't need to rack up debt to build credit. You can build a solid credit score without EVER paying interest. If you pay your bills in full this shouldn't be a problem. Just allocate things you ALREADY pay for automatically, into a credit card. One thing thats good to use your credit card for is something you have to buy, but don't change the amounts often. A good example of this would be gasoline for a car (if you have one, there are also plenty of ways to roll bills into credit cards and then pay off the statement automatically). Then make sure that credit card is payed off in full before your statement is due. Second you are overstating the impact credit score has on your ability to find apartments. A lot of people coming out of highschool moving out have little to 0 credit history, yet they are still able to find apartments... If you pay all your bills on time and prove that, and income stability (your job), then you shouldn't have trouble getting a place to stay without credit history. You could also add an extra months rent to the security deposit. Make sure to ALWAYS take pictures and video of a place before you move in, and after you move out. That way they can't screw you on the security deposit.
@@nex8000 I've lived in several places on my own. It's an economic situation uncontrollable by the individuals affected by it. I don't keep money in banks either. People think that's stupid as well, but I've never been charged a bullshit fee. Don't assume so much my guy. It is what it is.
@@faust167 It literally isn't an uncontrollable economic situation. You are just financially illiterate. If you have lived in several places on your own, but then proceed to tell me you can't find a place because of no credit history. You are just lying. These two things contradict each other. If you are a good tenant and pay your bills on time you are going to get a place to stay regardless of credit history. Not to mention you are delusional enough to think NOT paying your bills helps you get a place to stay? No landlord wants someone in debt to them. That's a HUGE hassle for them. If you leave they have to go out of their way to fight to get that money back through the legal system. That means more time and money invested into a low cost tenant. The BEST tenant is someone who pays their bills on time and keeps to themselves. Lastly. I have never been charged with a bullshit fee either. Just read the rules of the bank for maintaining your account without fees. You keep saying no credit history is causing you all these problems, but then talk about how awesome it is that you don't have credit history. Most banks have a minimum balance requirement. Normally its going to be pretty low. You don't get charged fees if you keep that balance requirement. To be honest your whole problem is you clearly have a massive distrust of the financial system and it is negatively impacting your life. Just grow up and learn how to run a bank account and grow credit history. You clearly are on low income, which means you will probably need a credit history in the future if you ever decide to own property. Might as well start building it now since all it requires is you paying off your bill every month before having to pay interest. The biggest factor is growing credit score is regular payments (history).
I got approved for a mortgage in central Indiana with a credit score of 630 through quicken loans. This was right before the pandemic hit. It's my first home and i feel very blessed. I hope everyone can find their home one day.
my landlord told me that back in that time those 14 dollars would equivalate to 1400$ so that's why I'm paying double of that to compensate for inflation
He’s not wrong that you do pay more because of inflation but inflation typically is around 2% per year. Over the last like 60 years housing prices has gone up like 500%
well when corporations are able to employ/bankroll agencies to incentivize their properties over competitors, properties they purchased fair and square at 115% its value from the previous owner and are now selling for 145% its original value, it seems like a win win for the entity
🤣 There’s so many new landlords jumping on what they hoped was an instant gravy train since 2008. Just heard a story of someone asking for their rent like two weeks early because they were leaving for vacation and wanted extra pocket change. Tenants are a little more than your cash cows, you trashcan human beings 🖤
We just bought a house. (We will be paying off loans for a while) The mortgage is less than our rent on a 6 bed house... we now have a Plot of land, with two homes on it. My brother and his lady, my husband, my baby daughter and I and my father too. No way we could afford it otherwise. So unbelievably grateful to have the opportunity and the family to do so ❤️

They tried to raise my rent 40%. I moved out, found the leasing manager's home address and poured gas on her car and lit a match. It only cost me a deposit to find a new place. She's still having to take Ubers to work. Be careful who you piss off, landlords.
In all honesty it’s about inflation and taxes. Raise them then property owners gotta raise rents 😁👍🏿 Although everyone is trying to get rich off of someone 🤔

Its possible to have cheap housing. In NYC there are a lot of vacant residential buildings. Building code and rent control has made it to where they are not worth fixing up and renting out. So they end up abandoned and unused. San Francisco also has rent control... under a free unregulated market we would have a lot more cheap housing available.

My apparent tried to increase rent by 50% for a 6 month lease. Mind you, there was still a giant moldy hole in the bathroom ceiling that hadn't been successfully fixed for a year, meaning my wife and I couldn't shower at our own home.
I fully expect to never own a house. I did for a moment then my wife divorced me and kept it. Took 12 years to get to that point. I honestly and truly give up. I live in a shit-hole of a place and my new wage increase just meant rent went up 20%
I was being harassed by my neighbours because I didn't sculpt my yard by spending 40 hours a week working on it, and it was ruining the average house value on the block, so I went to a school at night when there were no kids there, called police and took my pants down. Now I am a registered sex offender, and I advertise that with several signs on my property. How will that affect your house value, Martha?
@@Ledabot landlords do need to charge over their mortgage amount so they can yes profit but also use that profit to pay for maintenance and upgrades for the home. The issue is when you have a landlord who doesn't keep up with the home and the tenants concerns and becomes greedy.
@@Transylvania-kv4sg not everyone wants to buy a house, landlords serve a purpose. The college student who left home isn't going to buy a home straight out of high school. That's where a landlord who can rent out to you comes in. Corporate landlords are the worse but the average Joe who owns like 1 or 2 properties to rent out can be more empathetic.
A wonderful skit that is basically applicable across the world 🤣 people have said to me about buying and my replies are a) almost half my wages go on rent and I'm being priced out of the area so that's fun and b) I've never been interested in buying and making me feel forced into it I just going to make me resist the decision more

Bro I'm going to be buried while still living with my parents. They will be walking skeletons asking me when I'm moving out.
Mom, I DIED TEN YEARS AGO MOVE ON!
Crisis? Bruh a crisis is a temporary event.
As long as owning land is a basic investment strategy with guaranteed returns, this is going to be the situation.
So...forever.
Not really. This interpretation pretends that housing in the U.S. used to be affordable 100+ years ago and it somehow changed. 100+ years ago the majority of the lower class that currently can't afford houses today wouldn't be able to afford them back then. Not only could they not afford them, it was WAY worse. These people would work 60+ sometimes 80 hours a week to go home to a dogshit apartment shared with multiple other families the size of a single couples house that can be afforded on 2 working people with median income. The real scourge is the thought single family housing is the end all be all. We have such a good capability to house our people cheaply, but no one wants to zone for apartment buildings. They don't want apartment buildings because it drives housing prices down.
@@nex8000 Yeah, there were definitely a wider range of housing options in the early 20th century, and it is by choice that they have been eliminated. I live in a mid size city, and essentially there is nothing between $1200 a month and being homeless unless someone qualifies for section 8. That $1200 a month is almost basically the entirety of a low wage worker's income, so by necessity roommates are needed. Another complication is that as a society individuals are more and more socially isolated, and more and more people have drug and alcohol addiction, so finding roommates is much harder than in the past. I think the idea that one should move out from their parents as soon as possible is causing a lot of harm. In many societies you don't move away from your family until you are ready to start a family of your own. I noticed that most of the new immigrants to America our generally doing better than urban Americans because they pool their resources into shared homes and family businesses. In summary the rental exploitation we see now is enabled by the ever growing isolation of the individual.
@@nex8000 people are still working 60+ hours a week and have jack shit to show for it tho? Back then you could at least be persistent and get a job at a big company unlike now where you need a bachelors degree to make like $16 an hour
Honestly its kind of impressive how some of us are staying alive and keeping our heads above water despite being on the edge of homelessness.
Amen!!
True, some house prices really are absurd.
Like I saw this two bedroom house once, and they deadass wanted a weekly rent of $720.
Thing is, the place wasn't even that nice. Like it wasn't absolute shit, but it definitely wasn't anywhere near as fancy to justify that kind of price.

Every landlord I’ve ever had has been a boomer who when they were young had $70 a month rent and was able to save money and get ahead because of their affordable housing and cheap af college tuition. Then when they got ahead they did not do the same for us and instead jacked the prices of everything sky high, even if you account for inflation. My grandmother always says that my generation doesn’t work hard but that’s because there’s nothing to work towards. Everything feels so out of reach.
Not just that, but they got paid six figures and had dirt cheap housing and cars. People today actually are getting paid LESS with higher bills.
boomers are the worst generation. Let no one tell you differently.
Yea. Tuition increases because they are in an insulated market, unaccountable to their consumers, and guarantee that no matter what they charge, the govt will back a loan for the difference. And then tuition skyrockets and it's like "What a surprise! The country is convinced they have to have our product at any cost... and the govt says they will cover it no matter the cost... and the cost went up?!?!?" Shocking.
A boomer wanted me to work in his shop for free because I am a lazy millenial who wants stuff for free and I should be grateful for the opportunity to know hard work. He even tried to make the case where I should be paying him.

Yeah but he did paint the fuse box again so there's that. 🤷
I worked for a property management company for a few years doing repairs and the amount of actual maintenance was embarrassing. The things they would focus on while ignoring tenants request 🤦
I had a decent mgmt company for like five years who did actual maintenance, and then a company came in, raised rents more than the old one ever did, stopped performing maintenance, painted the buildings a hideous color, and then advertised it as "newly renovated luxury apartments".
@@guiltriple Sadly that is the business plan for some of these management companies. Get more income for owners by raising rent and saving owners money by not maintaining. Many owners care but don't see that their buildings are getting run down over time. Good luck out there 👍
Previous tenant in my unit shattered the glass shelves inside the refrigerator. I put in a notice on my move in inspection and made a maintenance request to get them replaced...last year.
I understand the manufacturer may not make the part anymore, or they'd have to go through management to make an order, or they just don't want to replace the whole fridge, but c'mon. All of my food is still sitting piled up at the bottom of the fridge. Good news is my rent is increasing in a couple months!
I'm an electrician and the amount of calls we get for apartments where I have to cut through 37 layers of paint to get at the breakers is astounding. Sometimes they paint right over the outlets so nothing can be plugged in. On top of that properties seem to change management, if not yearly then every couple years a new company is running the show. And these companies are the same. They call for an issue, we come out, find out that their meter is falling apart or the wire is disintegrating or something. We tell them what's wrong and recommend we fix it, they ask for an estimate, turn it down, 3 months later we are back at that same apartment and diagnose the same issue.
It just has to l o o k passable. It doesn't need to be safe or function correctly.
My parents were livid when they heard how much I was paying for rent. When I told them what the market rates were, their genius solution was to simply ‘buy a house’. Like I hadn’t thought of that before 😑
If you can afford rent consistently for 10 years, you can afford a mortgage. That should be taken into consideration when buying a home first time. The metrics they use to show the lender you are a good fit is so not accurate to how people live. Good luck to you. My husband and I made good money combined with almost perfect credit, and a healthy savings account, but because he is undocumented, I had to have my sister co-sign. Without her- I’d still be renting. My mortgage is less than my rent. The whole thing is so messed up. It’s taken us years to save up enough to even get here- alts the while paying rent consistently on time.
@@mamamua4644 the assumption here is that you can get a loan, which is not the case for many.
@@andrewjazdzyk1215 Yeah that’s exactly my point. The metrics they use to determine if your worthy of a loan is not right. If you’ve been paying rent for 10 years on time- and it is around the same amount as the mortgage, it should be taken into account. But it’s not. Makes it more difficult to qualify for a loan.

There's work beginning in my state (Maine) to end rental application fees. It's already done in Oregon.
Yeah. It really is dystopian levels of fucked up when you have to pay exorbitant fees in order to to get the opportunity for someone to consider letting you pay them exorbitant rent.
Considering homes should be a human right, the loops we have to jump through just to get a roof over our heads is legitimate cruelty.
My landlord charges $750 to sublease. When I looked at the reasoning in the contract for the cost, it says the $750 is to cover the "Labor" costs of the landlord signing the documentation. Their time is apparently worth $750 per signature.
The other day my neighbor came to my house. She’s about to be 90. She was telling me about how when she was young she lived in Greenwich Village in a brownstone with a back yard and multiple bedrooms for something like $90 a month.

As someone from a small European country, I'm really surprised to see the USA even has a housing crisis. From my perspective, you guys have an insane amount of space and land over there. My country is so densely populated which makes it understandable for there to be a housing crisis. But America doesn't have any excuse to be in a housing crisis. Clearly the market has fucked itself to an unacceptable level. The American people must rise up and stop this nonsense.
This is only in blue democrat cities I would say I feel bad for the biden voters but I don't, only problem is they now want to try move to red states & bring this with them
It’s insanely fucked up. The media is talking about a “housing shortage” but in reality, there’s just a shortage of small homes. Millennials don’t need and generally can’t afford a 4 bedroom house in the suburbs, so we’re all competing over the tiny number of small houses, townhouses, and multi-family units. They’re still building McMansion developments all over the place, but that’s not what we need. Unfortunately building multi-family housing is illegal in many areas because laws were written to make sure everyone gets a white-picket-fence neighborhood and doesn’t have to look at multi-family housing. And they won’t fix it because there’s too much money to be made gouging renters for all we’re worth.
They're living in an oligarchy that's bleeding the population dry for all its worth. Resources mean jack shit if you purposely mismanage them to benefit one set of people at the detriment of another.

In return, employees never get to leave the skyscraper, the company knows where they are at all times, when they sleep and even have mandatory implants to track thoughts, because employees signed a waver that denies them every personal freedom if the company desires.

You do realize they also lived on like 10 cents a day right ? Rent was cheaper back then, but they also made less money and everything also cost less in comparison today..
@@jankoleon3785 I do realize that, but housing costs have risen insanely proportionally. So if we really gonna go to this over a youtube comment: I really liked the last part where the property owner entities did what ever that was, but sure looked like some nasty-ass-coitus-dominating move to fuck the people looking for a space to live in Manhattan, but the logic can be applied any "undisclosed-growthcenter-place-with-"opportunities"" This is happening globally. And for this claim of yours " everything also cost less in comparison today.." is mostly incorrect. Sure, the relative price for food is low and relatively clean water is available. But electricity, gassoline, taxes, insurances, "family costs" for example school, daycare and what nots are a cross the board proportionally larger than what the wages haven risen from the days depicted in the fantastic video. And do not get me started on medical costs, if and when those take place.
@@jankoleon3785 whilst that is true you should really be looking at average rent as a percentage of average income.
It really is ridiculous.
Not sure about everywhere else, but in Michigan some employers will give you like a 1% cost of living increase every year, but landlords can increase your rent up to 6% every year. Then I look at houses for sale and not only do they look run down and like they are falling apart, but they want a down payment that is equal to or more than a whole year’s worth of rent. Why?
The banks don’t want to be stuck holding the bag when you declare bankruptcy on the mortgage, at which point the bank soon discovers that the only price they can get is about 20% less than what you paid for the house.
It just needs to be illegal for a company to own a residential building

It was actually easier for my husband and I to buy a house than to get into an apartment. I spent an arm and a leg on tons of apartment applications for us to be denied over and over. It was always bs reasons, like, "not enough apartment experience" like wtf? We were on the verge of homelessness and completely broke. An acquaintance of ours was a loan officer and we had him look at out credit score, etc. He happily told us we qualified and we found a house. Did the first time buyer loan so we didn't need a down payment. All I paid was for the inspection... it was cheaper than getting into an apartment... how is that possible? Absolutely mind boggling to this day. Maintain your credit score people, it could save your life!
oh depend on situation, houses are seen as safer investment and more long term. most apartment in cities are priced for their location and proximity to work and services. and for buying, apartments depreciates as they get older, for houses the land they sits on often increase in value far faster than the depreciation of the house building. For example, buy a house for $100,000 and decades later the house can be on the edge of collapse and worthless but the land value is $500,000.

It's like 1984, they want to control the language, which allows them to control your expression. I do think a pure capitalism would be preferable to a pure communism, mainly because I think pure capitalism actually gives the average person more freedom and power than communism does. But I also know that what we call "capitalism" is actually more like this oligarchy type thing you described.
I just think a "too big" govt is still more threatening than a "too big" corporation. And I think the worst case scenario is having "too big" of both of them, which is what we have now. A corporation doesn't have an army, or police, and can't physically control you. But when the corporation teams up with a govt, then you have the worst of both worlds. A company that can use the govt to for you to buy a product they sell, aka Big Pharma with Big Govt.

I feel it. I work 60 hours a week and don't earn enough to qualify to rent an efficiency unit, which is basically a walk-in closet attached to a half bathroom. In Iowa.
Somethings not adding up there. even at minimum wage at 60 hours a week you should be able to afford a shitty apartment unit in most states, especially in Iowa since it should be a pretty low cost state. Are you sure you don't have any bad spending habits leading to large portions of your income missing? at minimum wage and 60 hours a week you should be making about 2k a month. That should be enough to afford a shitty apartment assuming you are using your money responsibly . And if you convinced somebody you could find a 2bedroom and split it for even cheaper to save on money. Or do you just live with family currently and don't think you have the financial stability to move out?
@@nex8000 I've never applied for credit and I pay my bills on time. That is two strikes against anyone who wishes to rent or purchase property because the only true commodity is debt.
@@faust167I'm going to assume you just live with your parents based on the way you are talking so you probably don't have much experience doing all this, you also probably watched a few too many Dave Ramsay videos. You don't need to rack up debt to build credit. You can build a solid credit score without EVER paying interest. If you pay your bills in full this shouldn't be a problem. Just allocate things you ALREADY pay for automatically, into a credit card. One thing thats good to use your credit card for is something you have to buy, but don't change the amounts often. A good example of this would be gasoline for a car (if you have one, there are also plenty of ways to roll bills into credit cards and then pay off the statement automatically). Then make sure that credit card is payed off in full before your statement is due.
Second you are overstating the impact credit score has on your ability to find apartments. A lot of people coming out of highschool moving out have little to 0 credit history, yet they are still able to find apartments... If you pay all your bills on time and prove that, and income stability (your job), then you shouldn't have trouble getting a place to stay without credit history. You could also add an extra months rent to the security deposit. Make sure to ALWAYS take pictures and video of a place before you move in, and after you move out. That way they can't screw you on the security deposit.
@@nex8000 I've lived in several places on my own. It's an economic situation uncontrollable by the individuals affected by it.

@@faust167 It literally isn't an uncontrollable economic situation. You are just financially illiterate. If you have lived in several places on your own, but then proceed to tell me you can't find a place because of no credit history. You are just lying. These two things contradict each other.
If you are a good tenant and pay your bills on time you are going to get a place to stay regardless of credit history. Not to mention you are delusional enough to think NOT paying your bills helps you get a place to stay? No landlord wants someone in debt to them. That's a HUGE hassle for them. If you leave they have to go out of their way to fight to get that money back through the legal system. That means more time and money invested into a low cost tenant. The BEST tenant is someone who pays their bills on time and keeps to themselves.
Lastly. I have never been charged with a bullshit fee either. Just read the rules of the bank for maintaining your account without fees. You keep saying no credit history is causing you all these problems, but then talk about how awesome it is that you don't have credit history. Most banks have a minimum balance requirement. Normally its going to be pretty low. You don't get charged fees if you keep that balance requirement.
To be honest your whole problem is you clearly have a massive distrust of the financial system and it is negatively impacting your life. Just grow up and learn how to run a bank account and grow credit history. You clearly are on low income, which means you will probably need a credit history in the future if you ever decide to own property. Might as well start building it now since all it requires is you paying off your bill every month before having to pay interest. The biggest factor is growing credit score is regular payments (history).
Been subbed for a while and never been disappointed. THIS tickled me in the funnys tremendously. Thank you, Andrew.
Every month this landlord is just getting a cat and a thimble. What a collection he must have by now.
Peak video! I require more housing market related skits to quell my renting sadness
bro Andrew, I been subbed since you were at 40k, and this stuff just ages like a fine wine, getting better with every video my dude
I got approved for a mortgage in central Indiana with a credit score of 630 through quicken loans. This was right before the pandemic hit. It's my first home and i feel very blessed. I hope everyone can find their home one day.
This "OHH YEAAAHHH" at the end, it fucking killed me. La cerise sur le gâteau as we say in France (the ice on cake).
In the first part I cried tears of joy which turned to blood at the end of the second part.
That ending I can't 😭😭
That went 0 to 100 real fucking quick.
The Gerudo Valley theme in the background really drove this sketch home.
The second guy lost the house because he didn't throw in a cat to sweeten the deal
These days you need to at least throw in an ocelot. Inflation.
my landlord told me that back in that time those 14 dollars would equivalate to 1400$ so that's why I'm paying double of that to compensate for inflation
Incredible math. Amazing logic. Outstanding reasoning.
He’s not wrong that you do pay more because of inflation but inflation typically is around 2% per year. Over the last like 60 years housing prices has gone up like 500%
It's forced a good chunk of my friends to move to secondary and tertiary metropolitan areas. Time to spread out!
That flamenco cover of gerudo valley in the background is awesome, don't think I missed that
God, that Gerudo Desert theme just drives the insanity home!!!
All ı ve lived had brought me to this moment and ı guessed the rent right.

That took a sudden wild turn 😂 As per the housing market I guess.

As a real estate agent, I can confirm, we are all trying to fuse into one Lovecraftian entity
87% of all real estate agents fail out of their career within 5 years
as a real estate agent you are one step below a 🪳
well when corporations are able to employ/bankroll agencies to incentivize their properties over competitors, properties they purchased fair and square at 115% its value from the previous owner and are now selling for 145% its original value, it seems like a win win for the entity
Realtors are unnecessary leeches.
I like the music selections in your videos. Kick ass, Zelda haha
I have never hated flawless accuracy in sketch comedy so much as this moment.
🤣 There’s so many new landlords jumping on what they hoped was an instant gravy train since 2008. Just heard a story of someone asking for their rent like two weeks early because they were leaving for vacation and wanted extra pocket change. Tenants are a little more than your cash cows, you trashcan human beings 🖤
We just bought a house. (We will be paying off loans for a while) The mortgage is less than our rent on a 6 bed house... we now have a Plot of land, with two homes on it.
My brother and his lady, my husband, my baby daughter and I and my father too.
No way we could afford it otherwise.
So unbelievably grateful to have the opportunity and the family to do so ❤️
Is this the real reason pets aren't allowed in most apartments? Landlords want them as payment? 😂😂😂
Awesome video. Just love your humour.
And as a cherry on top of this tasty fun sundae you threw in the gerudo theme from Zelda. I loved it 😁👍
I cannot BELIEVE you chose an Italian cover of “Larry’s High Silk Hat” from Veggie Tales done on mandolin (?) for the music and it was perfect!! Chef’s kiss 😗you cheeky little muskrat!!
They tried to raise my rent 40%. I moved out, found the leasing manager's home address and poured gas on her car and lit a match. It only cost me a deposit to find a new place. She's still having to take Ubers to work. Be careful who you piss off, landlords.
In all honesty it’s about inflation and taxes. Raise them then property owners gotta raise rents 😁👍🏿
Although everyone is trying to get rich off of someone 🤔
Let's pass some zoning laws from the local legislature and restrict artificially the house supply in the country.
What can go wrong?
This guy is just amazing
Ok that was the best one you've ever done. Oh I seriously laughed in real life. No lol bs by myself just chuckling like a crazy person. Thanks for this one.
Dude, your edits are fantastic! Some of the funniest shit on the planet! ❤😂
"we will form into one entity"
how can this be so funny yet so true. oh thats right, its cos its true. and we sure love to laugh at our own misery.
When I see an upload from Andrew, it honestly makes my day😂 just knowing there's other people in this world with the same f***ed up sense of humor is so comforting 😆🥰💜
Laughing is good for your immune system. Thank you for the immunity boost.
I literally watched that flamenco cover of Gerudos Valley yesterday. Banger.
Its possible to have cheap housing.
In NYC there are a lot of vacant residential buildings. Building code and rent control has made it to where they are not worth fixing up and renting out. So they end up abandoned and unused.
San Francisco also has rent control...
under a free unregulated market we would have a lot more cheap housing available.
I love how the modern landlord seems to glance at his notes a few times for his “advice.”
And his advice is just a great big "F*** You!"
What's that? You can't afford healthy food or comprehensive healthcare? F*** You!
Student debt? F*** You!
Toxic boss causing frequent nightmares? F*** You!
Complaints? F*** You!
Wife just gave birth? F*** You!
Moth, ant, and cockroach infestation? F*** You!
Losing will to live? Get it over with so I can raise the price 🤑🤑🤑
I feel like I’m peering into my Italian ancestors past when they started their life here in the US vs my life now
My apparent tried to increase rent by 50% for a 6 month lease. Mind you, there was still a giant moldy hole in the bathroom ceiling that hadn't been successfully fixed for a year, meaning my wife and I couldn't shower at our own home.
I don't know why the Gerudo Valley theme fit so well in that last scene... but it did
I love these characters. I love you, Andrew! You’re so fucking GENIUS!
My HOA went from 270 to 365 in 2 years. I still never see shit done around my area.
His befuddled "what the fuck" is the same response I had when I started looking for my first apartment and saw how high these rent prices were
I know what Michael is saying. Once u loose everything u gain true freedom. Nothing to lose means everything to gain
Anybody notice how be sounded like Seth Rogan at 2:25 🤣 ?
The "HA!" before blue shirt gets serviced makes me lose my shit every time
Our rent is going up $800 because the new owners of the apartments will be installing washers and dryers in every unit. Rent will be over $4,500 now.
I fully expect to never own a house. I did for a moment then my wife divorced me and kept it. Took 12 years to get to that point.
I honestly and truly give up. I live in a shit-hole of a place and my new wage increase just meant rent went up 20%
Bro...NVM a house, you gotta find you some peace and happiness. My brother you need Jesus--and probably a beer or a cigarette. Sorry man. :|
...how did your landlord even know that you got a raise?
@@ij1376 first time I've seen someone recommend a cigarette or beer along with jesus lol
I was being harassed by my neighbours because I didn't sculpt my yard by spending 40 hours a week working on it, and it was ruining the average house value on the block, so I went to a school at night when there were no kids there, called police and took my pants down. Now I am a registered sex offender, and I advertise that with several signs on my property.
How will that affect your house value, Martha?
genial
bravo

Average land lord be like.
My mortgage is $1300, my friend lives down the street and pays $1500 for a shitty fucking apartment. Good times
Your friend just pays their land leaches mortgage with a nice profit on top
@@Ledabot landlords do need to charge over their mortgage amount so they can yes profit but also use that profit to pay for maintenance and upgrades for the home. The issue is when you have a landlord who doesn't keep up with the home and the tenants concerns and becomes greedy.
@@areus1456 landlords are parasites and should be exterminated
@@areus1456 The issue is landlords, anything else is just extra.
@@Transylvania-kv4sg not everyone wants to buy a house, landlords serve a purpose. The college student who left home isn't going to buy a home straight out of high school. That's where a landlord who can rent out to you comes in. Corporate landlords are the worse but the average Joe who owns like 1 or 2 properties to rent out can be more empathetic.
A wonderful skit that is basically applicable across the world 🤣 people have said to me about buying and my replies are a) almost half my wages go on rent and I'm being priced out of the area so that's fun and b) I've never been interested in buying and making me feel forced into it I just going to make me resist the decision more
Yeah well if you resist any longer you won’t have any place to live
