Americans Who Can't Afford Their Homes Up 146 Percent

According to the recent Harvard housing report, more than 38 million American households can not afford to buy houses, which has increased by 146% over the past 16 years.
According to the Federal guidelines, households that use more than 30% of revenue for housing costs are considered "cost burdens" and it is difficult to provide basic necessities such as food, clothing, transportation and medical care.
However, according to the census data of the report, the number of Americans suffering housing expenses has increased from 16 million in 2001 to 38 million in 2015. This is more than doubled
Despite the overall economic recovery, it has only slightly improved compared to 2014, with about 900,000 households declining.
It is not a problem for people with lower incomes and more home citizens as people can not safely pay their mortgage and are safely leasing.
Dan McCue, a senior researcher at Harvard Housing Research Center says that affordable housing also lowers GDP and reduces overall economic growth.
"It forces them to restrict expenditure on other projects, which will reduce expenditure in other economic sectors, they will reduce purchases, reduce savings and save on economy" Said McCue.
"This may make it more difficult to establish a new company with risks, or by living on a monthly basis, the possibility of returning to school and receiving additional training is much lower The result member said, "McCue told the NBC news
"For the low-income group, it is even worse than stagnation, it is not catching up with inflation," McCue said.
According to Diane Swonk, CEO of DS Economics, housing costs are influenced by quality of tenants and restrictions on supply of homes for beginners.
"After the financial crisis, so much capacity has gone offline," Swonk told NBC News. "Most of the existing houses are still underwater and many beginner houses are in a state of devastation."
"Builders can not reduce the size of small houses and build them," says Swonk. "Because this limits supply far below demand, we will naturally show the price."
Also, consider reducing the number of skilled construction workers, increasing material costs, and net decrease in Mexican immigrants since 2009.
The lack of affordable housing is one of the main reasons for homeless here. Due to the technology boom led by Amazon, house prices rose by 19% per year. However, homeless has various influences on people. Twenty-seven percent of the homeless population of Jin County is black, but black occupants account for only 6% of the county's total population. As a result of living outside Kim in this year, 14% of those who died were blacks. These numbers make Seattle's homeless approach a racial and affordable issue. It links application-based "solutions" to homeless problems and forms a dark history of self-regulation in the United States, where public order is being sacrificed at the most vulnerable cost.
It may seem that this country has never offered an affordable house to everyone who needs it. But in 1960, only about a quarter of the lessor used more than 30% of the revenue of the house. In 1970, an affordable housing of 300 thousand houses was borrowed. This means that almost all Americans were able to find places to live. Nan Roman, Chairman of the National Endless Homeless Alliance, says: He added that he spell checked when using word processors in the early 1980s. I did not even recognize the words. Today there are gaps of rental housing of more than 7.2 million, affordable enough for people of the lowest income brackets, and nearly 554,000 Americans are homeless at any night.
