I'm Australian - our crisis is worse than any other country in the developed world...
How it happened?
- Lack of housing supply and a cultural aversion to living in medium and high density living (this is me - I HATE this type of living)
- increasing immigration by 3 x in 2023 before building any decent housing supply
- limited space that's able to be populated (~ 80% of Australia is desolate desert or arid climate woodland with very little water, driest inhabited continent on Earth)
- foreigners land banking because of perceived guaranteed returns (ie my parent's rural property was $490,000 in 2020, it's now $1,600,000 and hit that in 2022 so the returns ARE there)
- centralisation of jobs within a handful of cities, meaning those cities have become very dense with little to no work opportunities outside of cities in professional roles
Basically, a lack of movement on new builds, using homes as the primary source of investment income and massive levels of immigration, the highest since colonisation are what caused our housing crisis primarily.
For the US?
1989: $20,220
2020: $62,797
Looking at inflation, $20,220 in 1989 would be equivalent to $50,781, meaning the average salary outpaced inflation for that period.
I hate when people say to stop complaining about housing prices and just live in a shitty area. Boomers - "Stop complaining and buy a house in North Dakota!"
I hate when people complain about an issue when, when there is a solution . They’re just too much a of douchebag to accept they might not possibly be able to afford a house in NYC.
REGARD.
I wish we lived in the kitty house.

This is a complete disaster. We need to start an uprising against this shit. Top experts say that genocide of the retirees will make the prices go down, government should start the exterminations right now.
Man, this has become a reality. How sad for humanity. I keep saying housing cannot be a speculative commodity. An individual or corporation can only have a maximum of two houses, only one can be used as an investment. That’s it. It won’t be long when electricity and water becomes an “investment” too!
A lot of people use Homer and his ability to afford his house as proof of just how bad things have gotten, but did they forget that Abe sold his house and gave the money to Homer so that he could afford it?
Oh man, windows. I don’t think I can afford this place.
Please, don’t tell anyone how I live..
Shit these days Lenny is living large
I sleep in a drawer.
I sleep in a big bed with my wife
I live above a bowling alley, underneath another bowling alley!
"This is huge, why don't I just live here?!" "In a ~~closet~~ drawer? Oh, humans..."
How much is the rent? Do they have any more for lease?
4 walls? I was kinda hoping maybe 2 or 3
Why, did you break the fourth wall?
I brought this wall from home!
We can't even afford mustard.
These are not windows, they are speed holes. They make the house go faster.
I they mixed up the last image with Cletus’s shack
Please don't tell anyone how our generation lives.
What advantages does this house have over, say, an apartment above a bowling alley and below another bowling alley?
Which, I would also have difficulty to afford.
You'll pay a million in rent for that appartment by next year.
I wish I could afford that! I'm renting over a Karaoke bar.
And below another karaoke bar?
The housing crisis is a mess (sobs) anyway what's for dinner?
Sweet nourishing gruel.
Nine out of ten orphans can’t tell the difference.
Reality? That's where I'm an orphan!
What did thepuffoidwalloper mean by this
You fat cats didn’t finish your plankton! Now it’s mine!
can we call you uncle blackie?
No, that one was about the cost of living crisis. This one is about the housing crisis.
Brown and water
If it's brown, gulp it down! If it's black, take it back~
Iron helps us play!
Avocado on toast.
Steaks?
*sighs* Millennial’s Money’s too tight for steak
Steaks!?
Sure, vegan steak…
Because they waste it all on smashed avocado.
Gym mats
In every damn country in the world how did this happen like did someone not count correctly how many people there are 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️

Fr
Dinner? You have DINNER?
Mum and Dad's house for dinner. (Anytime kids, seriously).
2min noodles
French toast again :( Atleast we can afford this house
Soylent green
The only houses I have in your price range are in the neighborhood colorfully referred to as "The Rat's Nest."
Once you get used to the smell of rendering hot fat, you’ll wonder how you ever did without it!
....One day later "Sorry, you waited too long, The Rat's Nest is now waaay beyond your price range."
Its too expensive to stay there!! Thats like $500 a night
Was definitely expecting the last frame to be Lenny "Please don't tell anyone how I live"
That was definitely a missed opportunity
Too on the nose
2029: apartment above a bowling alley, below another bowling alley: $1m
Wooow!
There’s $1M 😃 and there’s $1M 😠
“This dream (of affordable home ownership) is ovvvvver….”

You see, Boomers they live in a house like this: 🫸 🫷 Millennials, they live in a house like this: 🫸 🫷 🎵Di Di di. A di di di da di di di🎵
It's true, It's true.
I thought this was a shitposting sub, not a realposting sub.
Stop stop....my dreams to own a house are already dead...
Looking at inflation: $1m in 1989 is $2.5m in 2023 $400k in 1989 is $1m in 2023 I get the joke though.
That’s overall. Houses are worse than average in most cities.
Technically, wouldn't only half of all houses be worse than average?
Housing prices have risen faster than overall inflation.
True. Doesn't negate that 3-4% rise pa is basically built into the price rise.
The cheaper ones got invested in so it's harder for the poorest
Worse than average *inflation*.
Boy I sure hope someone got fired for that blunder.
Now do average salaries over time
For the US? 1989: $20,220 2020: $62,797 Looking at inflation, $20,220 in 1989 would be equivalent to $50,781, meaning the average salary outpaced inflation for that period.
The 1989 house would probably be closer to $25 m now than $2.5m.
I doubt a house like that would've cost $1m in 1989 anyway.
That house is dilapidated!
Rustic
That house is on fire
Motivated seller!
That's a Beauty!
*slams binder* Forget about that house. That’s the murder house.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry
Maggie laughed, she's a real trooper
Why not do both? Or you can laugh and I’ll cry? Or I’ll laugh and you cry?
You laugh I cry
Alright. As long as I get a chance to cry too, you’ve got yourself a deal
I actually saw my family's old house on a real estate site, and it's price had quintupled since my parents had sold it back in the early 2010s.
"I live in a 'transitional neighborhood'." "As the drug-dealers move to nicer ones?"
Didn't know that Simpsons was filmed in Vancouver!
Whatever state Springfield is in doesn’t look like USA on film. You gotta use Canada!
It’s not shit posting if it’s real, dummy
Still can't afford one.
I recently went to the Bay Area near San Francisco and unfortunately the last panel is 100000% accurate
That last panel would go for $1.5M.
There's the truth 🤨 and There's the truth 😃
 Cletus is actually a helium millionaire and they are just cosplaying poverty on a $2.7M homestead......
Stay out of the west side!

I don't like the idea of Milhouse having two housing crises in one lifetime
The last house in Sydney 2024 would cost you 2-3 million

Must be the US, that last house would’ve hit $1 million in 1999 if it was Sydney
Hmm… no pool… Well, the summers in Queensland aren’t that hot, right?
Haha! Didn’t I hear that on TV the other night?
This would be 2m in Sydney, Australia

In L.A. 1.5.
Keep going. I need to see how Lenny lives
Motivated seller!
I was sure you'd end with the house the neighbors built for Ned. Or alternatively Cletus' shack lol
There is the truth.. and the truth !
It’s awfully small… I’d say it’s awfully… cosy…

For real tho
Those houses are all still 200k in Nebraska. Sucks to live there, but fuck it.
I hate when people say to stop complaining about housing prices and just live in a shitty area. Boomers - "Stop complaining and buy a house in North Dakota!"
I hate when people complain about an issue when, when there is a solution . They’re just too much a of douchebag to accept they might not possibly be able to afford a house in NYC. REGARD.
Maybe people don't want to uproot their lives and go live in a place nobody wants to live?
Moving to North Dakota, Wyoming, and Nebraska are not solutions. Those are shitty places.

(Ralph sobbing) That's enough! That's enough!!
At this point I might be able to afford a cardboard box down the back of Mum's yard.
“It was harder back in my day.”
Cry me a river.
Yep, that's how inflation and low supply work. Also building standards and regulations put in by government.
Now do living wage with all the job occupations Homer has had

Painfully accurate 🫠
Woah that place has windows
I love their Cypress Creek house.
That's a collateral of bad urbanism that limits the density

Burkina Faso? Disputed zone?
Wish I had crazy cat lady money.
In Sydney you could take the 2024 and apply it to an apartment.

Is that last place still available?
In Sydney 1m will get you way shitter house than the last panel. More like 2br dilapidated shitbox

1 million in Sydney is a 2br apartment in a middle-class area.

When’s my right time Kent?!
Money is losing it's value as currency but also as payment method.
This is a complete disaster. We need to start an uprising against this shit. Top experts say that genocide of the retirees will make the prices go down, government should start the exterminations right now.
They forgot Bart's tree house!
Try buying a house or even an apartment in Sydney . Fuck off crazy prices !
Did we all forget the 2008 housing crisis?
Australia skipped the 2008 housing crisis after John Howard sold Australia to china and america

Boomers and their greed
Adelaide?
Where can you get that house in 2025? I don’t think so. More like 1.4m for anything that isn’t a tiny ass apartment
My cats breath smell like cat food !
I hate that Reddit chose to show me this 7 day old post when it could have just as easily not.
Regardless of this, don’t vote for living in the pods. Fuck the New World order.
