Think of how much lower monthly payments would be on a 70 year mortgage.
If someone would be brave enough to push terms out over 100 years, we could open up affordable housing for nearly every American! |

Date: November 9th, 2025 1:40 PM Author: Spectacular Dun Digit Ratio Boltzmann Seems like you're just asking for the same thing that happened when they gave everyone free unlimited loans for grad degrees - prices skyrocketed.
I think the 2 fixes to the housing market would be:
1. Require all lenders including securitizations to allow people to transfer their loan terms. So if you have a $500,000 loan at 3% and go to buy a $1 mm house, you can still use that $500,000 loan at 3% as long as you pay the fees to subsitute the new property into the mortgage.
2. Just lower fucking mortgage loans to 5.0%. The government has their hands enough already in this market not sure why they can't just dictate that. |

Date: November 9th, 2025 2:28 PM Author: onyx vivacious property (economics masterman)
Yes, banks will absolutely continue to lend money at 5% to homeowners who might default when they could just buy 30-year Treasuries and get the same return risk-free. If you fix mortgage rates to 5%, the entire housing market will freeze up because banks will never lend money again. |

|
Date: November 9th, 2025 3:29 PM Author: onyx vivacious property Many times banks do hold them, actually, but that's beside the point. Nobody is going to buy mortgage-backed securities from Fannie or Freddie if they can get the same return risk-free by buying 30-year Treasuries.
And I haven't even gotten into the other reasons this idea is absolutely idiotic. If you let anyone borrow unlimited amounts of money at 5% to buy real estate, you will have every investor in the country buying second homes and rental properties. And if they aren't earning money on these investments, they know that they can just walk away and let the taxpayers bail them out. If you want to make the housing crisis about 100 times worse than it is already, then let the government fix mortgage rates at 5%. |
|
Date: November 9th, 2025 4:28 PM Author: Spectacular Dun Digit Ratio Boltzmann This is all stupid.
You honestly think that the fed can meet and just pronounce that mortgage rates are going up or down a quarter point, but they couldn't find a mechanism to hold mortgage rates at 5%?
And obviously you wouldn't give the preferential rate for second properties. Not sure if you follow the news, but we already have a system in place for people to access cheap, government guaranteed mortgages so long as they're not second homes or rental properties... |
|
Date: November 9th, 2025 6:46 PM Author: onyx vivacious property I didn't realize I was arguing with an actual moron. Yes, of course the government could fix mortgage rates at 5%. The government could also spend $500 billion dollars to build a 50-story solid gold replica of Trump's cock. Just because the government can do something doesn't mean it should.
I shouldn't bother to respond to an actual idiot, but even mortgages owned by Fannie and Freddie are not formally guaranteed by the government. There is an understanding that the government will bail them out if shit really hits the fan (and the government did during ITE), and that keeps mortgage rates lower. But there is still some risk associated with these mortgages. If you make mortgage rates lower than the long-term Treasury rate, nobody is going to issue a mortgage, because you would have to accept greater risk for a lower return. That's precisely why mortgage rates tend to track long-term Treasury rates. This is all Econ 101 stuff. Maybe go read an economics textbook before pushing moronic ideas on xoxo. |

|
Date: November 9th, 2025 2:56 PM Author: soul-stirring gaping whoaaa, jews wld HATE this
Here is what the available information indicates about Gaddafi's housing finance policies:
## **Key Mortgage/Housing Policies Under Gaddafi**
| Policy | Description | Source | |--------|-------------|--------| | **Interest-Free Loans** | State-owned banks provided loans to citizens at **0% interest**, particularly to married couples. These were not conventional mortgages but direct government lending. | , , | | **State-Owned Banking** | All banks were state-owned, eliminating private sector mortgage lending. Housing finance was a government function, not a market mechanism. | , | | **Construction Support Laws** | **Law No. 2 of 1981** aimed to support construction, reconstruction, and encourage real estate investment. **Law No. 116 of 1972** provided residential subsidies. | | | **Rent Controls & Price Fixing** | Compulsory rent reductions of **30-40%** were mandated, along with statutory price controls on housing. | | | **Property Ownership Restrictions** | **Law 4/1978** limited individuals to **one house** only; additional properties were confiscated. This prevented speculative real estate investment and private rental markets. | |
## **How the System Worked**
Instead of a Western-style mortgage market, Gaddafi's Libya used: 1. **Direct state provision**: Government allocated housing units, often through employers or revolutionary committees 2. **Zero-interest loans**: For those who qualified (especially newlyweds), loans were interest-free but came with strict eligibility criteria 3. **No private lending**: No commercial banks or mortgage companies existed to offer market-rate home loans 4. **Construction subsidies**: The state directly funded housing construction, bypassing private developers
## **Limitations & Context**
**Post-Gaddafi housing crisis**: The 2025 CAHF report notes that Libya currently has a **"malfunctioning housing market"** with **"no access to long-term mortgage loans"** and a **"chronic housing shortage"** . This suggests Gaddafi's statist model **did not create sustainable housing finance institutions** that survived his regime.
**Bottom line**: Gaddafi eliminated interest and private property speculation, but the system relied entirely on state control rather than building a functional mortgage market. |

Date: November 10th, 2025 8:17 AM Author: Up-to-no-good apoplectic depressive There are very few free wins. That's the point. If there were some easy solution that people could see the results of within 4 years it would've happened decades ago. The most significant free win is probably crushing the realtor cartel, but obviously that only saves you a few % at most. Any policies that might systematically make it more affordable for Americans to own home need decades to play out.
A 50 year mortgage, as pointed out above, is basically useless unless interest rates are near the historical lows of last decade. It only serves to take advantage of people too dumb to realize how shitty of a deal it is. If you want to subsidize demand at least do it by way of something like lowering taxes instead of taking advantage of proles. |

im not saying this is a good policy. only that i think its possible that trump is looking for quick wins, and its not as cynically motivated as you're attributing it. maybe it is just rearrangle deck chairs on the titanic, but it's easier to rearrange deck chairs than patching a broken hull. |

Date: November 9th, 2025 6:50 PM Author: onyx vivacious property It's fascinating to me that a bort that generally leans conservative wants the government to get even more heavily involved in free markets once housing prices get high. I never thought I would see the day when Mamdani and xoxo are pushing the same dumb ideas. Why not try to eliminate zoning rules and fight NIMBYism to get more housing built? While you're at it, why don't you get rid of tariffs on imported building materials and make it easier to hire immigrants who are willing to build houses for cheap? But why trust free markets when you can just give people government handouts instead? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5795050&forum_id=2/#49415014) |

Date: November 9th, 2025 10:12 PM Author: onyx vivacious property I'm a free market conservative, not a MAGA white nationalist. My ideal immigration policy is close to open borders, because I don't think the government should be able to tell businesses who they are allowed to hire.
But that's beside the point. The only reason this labor is "illegal" is because of federal government polices. Create a visa for short-term unskilled labor. Exempt these visa holders from the minimum wage and other workforce protections to make sure that they are literally only taking jobs that Americans don't want. Create a database to make sure that they don't overstay their visas. A high percentage of undocumented immigrants in the U.S. would prefer to just do temporary work, send money back to their families, and then leave when their visa expires. But they can't do that, because we don't have a visa for short-term unskilled labor. If you want to build houses or pick crops, you have to either abuse a tourist visa or sneak in illegally. It's asinine. Even if you are opposed to increasing levels of immigration, allowing short-term unskilled foreign work is a net benefit for everyone involved.
And the federal government could easily pass legislation to make some kind of federal funding contingent on eliminating NIMBY policies. I would have to think about what form this legislation would take, but it could be done. And there is nothing to stop states or local governments from combating nimbyism if the feds won't do it. |

Date: November 9th, 2025 10:40 PM Author: out-of-control mother water buffalo interesting ideas on foreign workers getting a a temporary visa allowing no-minimum-wage, no-workforce-protection work, after which they would have to leave. i don't think it's close to practical though: we see how expensive and controversial it is to remove people who are illegally in the country. because many of them have built lives here, are known in their communities, have children here, etc.
if you have open borders you don't have a country any more. |

u also say if they maek babby in US its not a citizen
u cld even do something like say the employer share of FICA will be given as a bonus when they leave |

Date: November 10th, 2025 4:03 PM Author: hyperactive geriatric church These immigrants are already losing at least 25% of their comp by working under the table more cheaply than citizen labor. You'd have to withhold much more than 25% to compensate for the rise in wages they'd receive by working legally. Also, the gov isn't going to denaturalize the half white babies these guys make while they're working here. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5795050&forum_id=2/#49417997) |

u also cld just withhold 25% of salaries until they leave, then u know they wont overstay
and they cant bring their furking families, they stay at worker dorms and comp is responsible for everything
simple as but US is retarded |

Date: November 10th, 2025 3:57 PM Author: onyx vivacious property As I said, a high percentage don't even want to stay in the U.S. They just want to earn some money and then go back to where their friends and families are. But you can add some combination of carrot and stick to make sure that people leave when their visa expires. If someone is exceptional and their employer wants to keep them long-term, there is always PERM. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5795050&forum_id=2/#49417978) |

Date: November 10th, 2025 4:00 PM Author: onyx vivacious property The real problem is that there are maybe 300 people in the entire country who would qualify for a 50-year mortgage but not a 30-year mortgage. Once you take into account the fact that interest rates will be higher on a 50-year loan, the monthly payments are essentially the same. The only people this helps are the people whose monthly income falls just a $200-$300 short of what you needs to qualify for a 30-year loan.

Date: November 10th, 2025 7:50 PM Author: out-of-control mother water buffalo That adds up to a real number of people. Also, there were shrewd (or lucky) borrowers who got 30 year mortgages at 2% or whatever when rates were at the bottom. It's possible more people would have that good fortune if the 50 year instrument were available. Even if it doesn't change much, I say why wouldn't we want to have it available (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5795050&forum_id=2/#49418680) |

Date: November 12th, 2025 12:50 PM Author: onyx vivacious property Because every dumb prole goy will go for a 50-year loan to save $100 per month and then will have zero equity when they are ready to move in 10-15 years. For every person who is legitimately helped by a 50-year mortgage, there will be about 200-300 others who use it to fuck themselves. If you are old enough to remember 2008, interest only loans were all the rage back then. That turned out well. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5795050&forum_id=2/#49423269) |

Date: November 10th, 2025 11:31 AM Author: Irradiated Frozen Dilemma why would 50 year mortgages solve the issue in housing, which is that there is too much money going after too few homes?
many people can afford high monthly payments. those are the ones buying homes. a person with a 50 year mortgage plan does not suddenly 'win' the bid over someone who also is bidding for the home. |

Date: November 10th, 2025 9:03 PM Author: filthy step-uncle's house The biggest issue is that jobs are concentrated in a few places that, frankly, suck and are very expensive despite this. When WFH was more common suddenly a bright future appeared where people could move to various places, buy houses, and build a life. Then elites got huge frowny faces when they realized that this would make lib hellholes plummet in value and so RTO was introduced.
