Excellent interview. That’s how I feel about where I grew up. It’s such a part of our hearts though, living in the same place for most of your life. I guess we have a difficult time with change, at least the drastic change we’ve seen in our towns, cities, and country. Thank you for sharing this video.
Seattle has the worst record for evictions..very hard to get non paying tenants out close to one year it takes and most times u have to pay the tenant to leave not worth the headache
@@fertilityqueen7880 sadly its like that in Vancouver BC and probably every major city up and down the west coast, into Colorado. The governments have failed us they let investors take over and raise rents putting the squeeze on renters.
I remember my first job out of college (1989) I worked with a guy who lived in Seattle and he was always telling me that buying his home out there was the best move he ever made because it was going up so quickly in value! Can’t imagine what the thing must be worth now if he still owns it……😂
That's sad it's happening to good people there lives are being destroyed yes I don't even own a house and disabled and I am in California and I can say if you become disabled are an veteran your in line to being home less it's the Greedy landlords that has jumped on the band wagon and the only things They Care about is there investments.I was an nurse and my husband an veteran and we are probably going to lose our home after 10 year's .the amount of rental increase says They no longer want anyone who is in s certain earning amount.level ,So what people who are disabled don't deserve a decent place to stay.? It's what the increase is stating.I try to write the newspaper here and voice my views on one of there articles, It was refused. It needed to be edited?? What why? The truth is the truth,they act like They Care but in reality they are just as bad as the people who has caused this,yes I blaming the tech Giants!! Greed .For cashing in on others down falls !
No doubt greedy landlords plays a role. The tech Business but also you have politicians raising taxes on properties with the blessing of the voters who vote "FOR THE CHILDREN" like schools that are being overwhelmed by illegals. This has to stop! They don't bother to consider the disable and the elderly.
you're reviling the actual state of affairs that exist there....they don't want that publicity....so, you'll be refused to state your opinion...and therein is why many taxpayers are leaving the state....
How does a house her father owned, still have a mortgage after all these years?? Surely when he bought the home it was in the 70s or 80s and the price was less than today? Hate how they glossed over that.
@@callieford2228 if she did I bet she is regretting that move now. She must have done that if a house her father owned is suddenly slipping through her fingers.
This is the first thing I thought too. I didnt want to say it but..they cant kick you out if you OWN it. That house is literally some 100 years old. Should not be a mortgage on it.
Yep that’s right a lot of people borrow money on their house its like a title pawn your car so you have to pay the mortgage again or they will take the house
Here in California we have Prop 13 which limits property tax bills to under 2% per year no matter how much your home has increased in value. Thank God for Prop 13 as my home has tripled in value.
Losing Prop 13 will crash the market. Just wait.... dems will manipulate to abolish it. Prices will drop and the dems will give the down-payments and assistance to illegals, while homeless veterans will line the streets. California... the Golden State.
@@BibtheBoulder well, the tent cities are increasing....like the serf class in the middle ages...they worked the land for the owners, and the owners took most of what they made....pretty much the same thing today...
I cashed out my 401k and bought a house in cash for under 45 K at age 36 ,, it needs some work but best move I did,, but I had to leave family and friends behind to make it happen.
Propety tax is the most discriminating tax out there. Even if people are able to buy a house, they still cannot live there if they don't have a certain income. That prevents people with low income from owning their own home even if they have the funds to pay for it and own it outright.
It sad that property tax is costing more per month than what our mortgage is by alot. I live in Ct and I’m considering retiring next year. But if i want to stay in my home I won’t be able to retire. Our choice is selling and moving into an RV just so me and my wife can afford health care and maybe have a few good years left before we’re really old or continue working till we die just to barely afford our home. This is what the American dream has become.... SADDD!!!
Hello ! Where did Amy go ? Did she sale her house and move to another State ? Was she able to buy her another house ? How is she doing did she make ! I hope 🤞 so , hope she is following her dreams and doing well !
Perhaps Amy should try living in the trinities area of Eastern Washington; or Spokane, Washington the cost of home ownership should be lower in those places.
Amy is fortunate & don't feel it! She need to wake up & deal with reality! Places change, Seattle is different from before she was born. Being self-employed & living single is tough, anywhere. Get a roommate(s), steady job with healthcare, work part-time in your business.
I will say if she stop the car payment or at least pay for it and don’t buy another for 10 years or more she will be better and being a little bit more responsable with money because I see a lot of Americans have a rich people living even not making enough money.
Every body is having trouble with rent and mortgage I saw this coming in the middle nineties I did not know it was to be this bad and will get worse by the middle thirties as Americans bleed jobs to overseas cheap labor every company left in America has to pick up the tab for taxes and mortgage rent and every thing else and who will pay the price Americans cost of living increases.all the rich people all over the world got their money invested into real estate here in America Wall Street got there dirty fingernails in real estate mortgages and rental property a lot of people in Congress senator all politicians and every investment got their dirty fingers in real estate and they all are trying to buy up all the houses and apartment buildings and houses land away from the people and forcing all people to renters and automobiles will be next no buying cars to own you will rental car and all ways have a car note to pay and never owning a automobile
This is an example of womens liberation buck up you wanted equality right ,you can rent rooms out and no matter what you can’t run from your problems,they follow you!
The irony is that if she had been wise and used only a portion that new mortgage loan to invest in a rental or added room renovations for rentals she would have landed on her feet. Then been labeled a capitalist, which is what her father became the day he decided to build somthing instead of rent somthing. You can't make YOUR situation better by blaming the world.

This is happening in all of the best places.
if by best places you mean liberal hellholes you would be correct.
Im from Los Angeles. I wish I had that 2300 buck mortgage!!! Shes lucky
Atlanta.....my hometown. I'd never move back there. Good luck to this woman, hope you find what's best for you.
Amy will be jumping out of the frying pan and into the FIRE. She should consider renting out rooms if possible.
Seattle has the worst record for evictions..very hard to get non paying tenants out close to one year it takes and most times u have to pay the tenant to leave not worth the headache
That's just it, she SHOULDN'T HAVE TO
yes she can easily rent a room !!
@@fertilityqueen7880 sadly its like that in Vancouver BC and probably every major city up and down the west coast, into Colorado. The governments have failed us they let investors take over and raise rents putting the squeeze on renters.
If they were priced out in 2018 imagine what is happening with the in 2021/22
2030 is coming

1988 was the first year that calfronians stared to move into Seattle. In one year house prices doubled.
If you own a home, living anywhere is possible since housing takes up somewhere between 30% to 60% of a household income.

Do you think she might have taken out a 2nd mortgage on the house to pay something else?🤔

Thank god we have that. And if the state tries to take that back. I'm telling you it will be a bloody revolution.

If you think it's bad in Seattle, try San Francisco. Rental and purchase prices for housing simply defy reality.
That is because SF is the most expensive city in the country.
I came across this story and four years later I wonder what has happened to Amy?
...and why is it suddenly being recommended by RUclips....? Are they dropping hints on how it's all going to go?
If she hung on she would have made a killing on the house.

I ended up moving to Ohio from NY. The cost of housing in NY is insane.
move over seas where lots of American retirees live.
@@nicolatesla5786 ppl from San Diego are moving to Mexico in droves
@@nicholasthompson7690 would not surprise me.
@@nicolatesla5786 yah ok .... maybe i can find a cheap home in Ukraine rite now.
After you watch this, realize that this was from 4 years ago and the crisis is now probably even deeper
She should try to find a room mate first before making the move
Some people don't want a roommate. I wouldn't want a roommate in my home so I could afford to live there. It's just ripe for a change for her.
Why move all the way to Atlanta? Move a bit south of Seattle, maybe Federal Way or Kent, and the cost of the home would be much lower.
Hello ! Where did Amy go ? Did she sale her house and move to another State ? Was she able to buy her another house ? How is she doing did she make ! I hope 🤞 so , hope she is following her dreams and doing well !

Seattle to Atlanta? There have to be better choices.
City us promoting this stuff and or giving tax breaks to companies...
That simple. Don’t loose your home
Hello 👋 did Amy move and following her dreams ,
Did Amy stay?
Last one to leave turn the lights out.
Amy is fortunate & don't feel it! She need to wake up & deal with reality! Places change, Seattle is different from before she was born. Being self-employed & living single is tough, anywhere. Get a roommate(s), steady job with healthcare, work part-time in your business.
Can someone explain why people don't realize. Times are changing..... The WORLD IS GROWING........ CATCH UP OR SHUT UP
QFC is Fancy?
Amy, God will guide you on the right path through all your troubles.....
I will say if she stop the car payment or at least pay for it and don’t buy another for 10 years or more she will be better and being a little bit more responsable with money because I see a lot of Americans have a rich people living even not making enough money.
It’s worst in Atlanta
the music is annoying
Wyoming is the best location. Low taxes,lots of land,and few people. Think it over.

You gentrificate you give birth to tent cities
This is what’s happening in Richfeild MN
You're kidding. I'm from Bloomington there. Sad.
They are Already price out..It will only get worse..

Join us in the streets fellow priced out citizen
Get married or get a roommate
She chose to be a contractor, she chose to live in the city. Move or at least stop the whining.
Greed
boo hoo.
This what happens when you allow too much capitalism with no regulations. People and businesses get greedy and take advantage.
Single female, just get married, problem solved. There are lots of dudes out there ready to man up and step up to the plate.
It would work, but that’s not the best reason to get married.
I will never marry a woman who is head over hills in debt and not working a regular job
Get a second job or a husband
