There is not really a shortage of housing. There is a shortage of what people consider to be affordable homes in desirable areas.


That and there’s a real lack of legitimate, affordable starter homes in even “decent” areas of a lot of cities. You shouldn’t have to live in the hood just to avoid buying something a solid bedroom and 400 square feet bigger than what you actually need.

Absolutely true…unfortunately, neighborhoods like you describe quickly go to shite. Most people don’t like to hear it, but the key is to have a strong homeowner’s association.

the hood seems to be common denominator of a lot of problems in western culture.

There will never be a resurgence of the old affordable neighborhoods with houses close to the city. Segregation of schools allowed for this. White folks simply just dont want to send their kids to schools where they are in constant fear and wont learn anything
