Why Nobody Can Afford a Home Anymore

Ever wondered why buying a home today feels impossible, even if you earn a decent salary? Why your parents bought houses easily while you can’t even afford rent? In this video, Explains 101 breaks down the global housing crisis in the simplest way possible so anyone can understand.

We explain how homes stopped being homes and turned into investment tools, why prices keep rising even when nobody’s buying, how Wall Street firms like Blackstone and Invitation Homes now own thousands of houses, and why landlords today are often hedge funds instead of humans.

You’ll also learn about land hoarding, zombie houses, Airbnbs replacing locals, and how government “solutions” often make the problem worse. Finally, we explore if renting is becoming the new normal and what could actually fix this broken system.

Using simple language, real-life examples, and clear visuals, we reveal why the dream of home ownership keeps slipping away for millions around the world.
