Honestly you still have to turn settings down with a 1080 at 4k as evidenced by this test.

Property tax *barely budges* and can often go *down*. Home owners collectively form a special interest cabal with massive weight in a township.

Rent increases is “silly”? In what alternate universe? Maybe you need to spend some time Googling the sentence “rent outstripping income” and how it is currently considered a *crisis*.

Absolutely brilliant IMO. And outside of highly speculative, high risk, markets, or macro forces collapsing the *entire* market (‘07), does that *ever* really happen? There’s your answer.

NY, SF etc are basically doomed markets. The salaries are generally 10-20% higher than somewhere like Raleigh, whereas housing is easily 200-300% higher.

Nah, it IS ok to generalize. Renting is *horrible* financially. Full stop. You rent if you are *only* staying short term, or if you *cannot afford to buy*. Full stop.

OK well then *financially* it’s a no brainer. Because it is. Renting is for schmucks who can’t afford to buy really. And I say that having been *both* and currently *being* a schmuck renter because I cant afford to buy where Ive been forced to live for work unless I suck up a 3hr commute. It is what it is, but lets…

Huh? Other than class envy projection, what the heck does that have to do with it?
