My husband and I bought ours in 2019, and I feel like we did so in the nick of time, and that's with being on two programs and taking an additional loan for the down payment, and that's because paying the mortgage was lower than renting an apartment at the time.

People can't afford housing anymore. I feel guilty even owning a house because it's gotten so bad (even though the bank technically owns this shit).

Same. Alternatively, turn that guilt into the drive to attend community meetings.

Yeah I'm pretty involved locally, although action is pretty limited here where I live in South Dakota

Bummer that sounds rough. I'm in New England so it's mostly nattering neoliberal nimbys 🙄

Oh don't worry, we've got a lot of them here as well. I know a lot of good people too, but everyone is stretched so thin with work and trying to survive.
