The goal should be to make housing so affordable that you move to a 20-year mortgage. Having to offer 50-year mortgages is a sign that things have gone terribly awry.

the 30-yr mortgage is already a product that is toxic to own for anyone outside of two publicly owned companies (for how low the interest rate is, and the large loan amounts...it can bankrupt any holder of these assets with just a few bps increase in defaults. And that exposure is over 30 years!). ...

The government won't fix it. Individuals need to. The government probably will offer 75 year mortgages in 5 years. Or some other snake oil fix. If you are going to be a landlord, be a better landlord. Base your business in bitcoin so you can afford to keep rent affordable for your tenants. Don...

Same story with higher education... Artificial scarcity leads to higher prices, which leads to government-subsidized loans, which leads to higher prices, because the seller can now charge more... In the case of housing, the "artificial scarcity" part is largely what the #YIMBY movement is trying t...

This will actually make housing more unaffordable because lower payments will raise prices in desirable markets.
