You say that as if the cost of home ownership isn't also increasing faster than salary. This is not a function of landlords/renting. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] smh@slrpnk.net 2 points 6 months ago Agreeing: Appliances, repairs, taxes, HOA fees, and utilities are all going up in cost faster than salary. The only homeowner cost I can think of that isn't going up is my mortgage, which is fixed-rate. With a variable-rate mortgage, even that could be going up. permalink fedilink source parent
