Seriously, I have no life.

well, unless you have a candidate who wants to enact Gov't price controls ...........Of course, the market decides on pricing
Yeah. That works. Lolwell, unless you have a candidate who want enact Gov't price controls ...........![]()
You really can't stop whining about whoever is in the Democratic ticket like that other poster that talks about Camala insertion that means penetration in incel speak?well, unless you have a candidate who want enact Gov't price controls ...........![]()
The problem with that is that the land is a thing that exists... and that construction costs don't scale in a linear way. As an easy example: the roof costs on a 100m^2 single-floor, and a 300m^2 tri-floor are identical.Over here, we measure prices very much according to price per square meter, which is one of the real main measures
The simple answer is that it's not simple. There are a huge number of factors that combine to effect prices. The government plays a role; though whether you want to blame the executive, legislative, or even Judicial (who likes to tell the regulatory agencies that are trying to help that they aren't allowed to) you'd be both right and wrong... and the underlying factors exist at both national and local levels.So can we blaim blaim Trump or Biden or Harris for insane US prices?
it´s a global phenomenon.

and in this case the willy nilly hand out of $$ during the pandemic help set the stageThe government plays a role,
pent up consumers with $$ in their pockets to burn, supply chain issues to not meet demand = a recipe for inflation..........Then there are pandemic-related costs. There're supply problems
I think that too is over-simplified. The money was intended to soften a collapse, and it did that. Did it create upward pressure relative to what would have happened without it? Sure.and in this case the willy nilly hand out of $$ during the pandemic help set the stage
Not really. There was a spike at the end of the pandemic, similar to the dip during it; but that's more than offset by the post-pandemic drop.pent up consumers with $$ in their pockets to burn, supply chain issues to not meet demand = a recipe for inflation..........
my statement was not limited to home sales and as for the 'willy nilly' portion, IT WAS ! Both my wife and I were sent unsolicited checks. We didn't need the $$ at all but we were glad to donate it to our favorite charityI think that too is over-simplified. The money was intended to soften a collapse, and it did that. Did it create upward pressure relative to what would have happened without it? Sure.
But by the same token you could say people not losing their jobs set the stage.

I'm not saying that played no role at all; but it doesn't appear to be a major driver of anything beyond (what it was intended to do) preventing a collapse.
yeah .... it doesn´t scale linearly, but it does more or less when you have flats, which is predominant many places here, whenever you come to detached houses, there are tons of other parameters but for flats it works not so bad. but then again there are other parameters like location, locatopn, location, building standards ......The problem with that is that the land is a thing that exists... and that construction costs don't scale in a linear way. As an easy example: the roof costs on a 100m^2 single-floor, and a 300m^2 tri-floor are identical.
Per-square-meter costs to build decrease as the number of square meters increase and land costs are their own thing (why some areas build up and others don't is because the cost increases as you go up (to some extent)
I wish I could sell my house for the average per-ft^2 in my region.
My point is that neither Trump, Biden, Harris or any other politician has the power to control prices and inflation, it is insanely complex, and the war in Ukraine is a big factor on what is happening with the economy now. .... I am not expert on this but the belief that changing politician leadership will fix the economic issues is like believing in Sznta ClausThe simple answer is that it's not simple. There are a huge number of factors that combine to effect prices.

For some areas, it's as simple as "it's filled with rich people"... unless you want to blame the government for not socializing housing. Then there are pandemic-related costs. There're supply problems that are a mix of under-building and also corporate buy-ins.
There're issues like the fact that one makes more money building an expensive house than a cheap one; so where builders have focused are larger / more expensive houses which are also lower volume.
Gads: could spend a week on what's gotten us here.
Changing politicians can/may help in counteracting inflation. One contributor of this inflation was the $1.2B unneeded stimulus that Biden pumped into the economy as soon as he assumed office. This he did against the advice of several well regarded economists like Larry Summers.My point is that neither Trump, Biden, Harris or any other politician has the power to control prices and inflation, it is insanely complex, and the war in Ukraine is a big factor on what is happening with the economy now. ....

Both Trump and Biden pumped trillions into the US economy.Changing politicians can/may help in counteracting inflation.

IMHO, one of the main reasons we are here now is because politicians in the west did not dare to act, including Obama….. ruzzia should have been stopped in 2014 when invading Donbas and Krimea, but we were all too coward.Changing politicians can/may help in counteracting inflation.

And it'snot even finished, so occupancy won't be possible for months.IIIIIIINNNNNSANE![]()
Where I live, there are lots of new flatblocks being built, with maybe 30+ flats in each, really cool and nice, great standard, lots of seafront apts.And it'snot even finished, so occupancy won't be possible for months.
And if commie-la Harris wins the election, it’s not going to improve.IMHO, one of the main reasons we are here now is because politicians in the west did not dare to act, including Obama….. ruzzia should have been stopped in 2014 when invading Donbas and Krimea, but we were all too coward.
we would not have had the full scale war, insane suffering and crazy economics that come with this. The only way to stop putler is by brute force. The west did not seem to not fully comprehend this or we gave in to his terror politics!
Certainly, Biden does not seem to have the guts to stop putler.
It also seemingly is being said inside the White House that US should not support Ukraine so much that they win the war.... as long as we do have war, I think there will also be this crazy economics.
Not so simple but I think precondition for getting back to somewhat normal is at least to end the insane current wars
Possibly you are right!And if commie-la Harris wins the election, it’s not going to improve.
