September 21, 2023 No Comments

After the pandemic era of staying at home, Americans realize the need for adequate living space.

A new nationwide survey and data analysis found how many Americans are looking to upgrade their living space and which cities they should avoid if they need more living space.

This U.S. Cities the Smallest Living Spaces report ranks the cities with the smallest median living space per person as well as surveys Americans nationwide on their living space.

The report found that 1 in 2 Americans want more living space, but 1 in 3 say they’ll never be able to afford it.

San Francisco offers the smallest median living space in the U.S., at 667 square feet per person.

Americans primarily want more room for their stuff or for a pet, and the kitchen is the most popular room in need of a spatial upgrade. Take a look at the full report to see the whole list of U.S. cities with the smallest living spaces.

[Study] Half of Americans Say Their Dream Home is “Unattainable”

November 11, 2022 No Comments

Home ownership across generations by the numbers

While the real estate market seems to be cooling a bit, skyrocketing mortgage rates are driving affordability to the lowest level since the 1980s. Americans are taking notice and realizing their dream home may never be in the cards. I wanted to make sure you saw the report I sent last week on American’s dream homes.

More than 1,000 Americans across each generation were surveyed. The study found 90% believe owning a home is part of the American dream but 51% say it isn’t attainable.

Still, renters are hopeful they will get into a home soon. The report includes generational insights on what people are looking for in their ideal home and how many wish to own a vacation home.

If you close your eyes and picture your dream home, does it look similar to where you’re currently living?

For the overwhelming majority, that dream home is just a dream.

IPX1031 surveyed more than 1,000 Americans across each generation about their dream homes. 94% said they are not currently living in their dream home, with the top reason being they cannot afford it.

What would those dream homes look like? Where are the dream homes located? How much would the dream homes cost?

The study found…
– Modern was the top architecture and interior design style
– 57% prefer new construction over renovating a home
– 35% want four beds
– 38% want 3 baths

The most desired dream home features…
1. A view
2. Big backyard
3. A Large family room
4. Front porch

The top luxury amenities people are looking for are land and privacy (59%), a hobby room (48%), and a home theater (42%).

51% said their dream home is out of reach, with half of millennials estimating their dream home would cost between $500,000 to over a million dollars.

Take a look at the full report, which also includes generational insights on what people are looking for in their ideal home, how many renters plan to become homeowners in the next five years, and which generation wants to own a vacation home.

Allied Progress makes Trump accountable for his promise to protect Americans

November 11, 2016 No Comments

During President-elect Donal J. Trump’s campaign, he promised to protect hard-working Americans from big banks, Wall Street, and powerful special interests that politicians cater to. Will Trump as President live up to those promises? The group Allied Progress, a nationwide nonprofit grass root organization that uses hard-hitting research and creative campaigns to hold powerful special interests accountable and empower hardworking Americans, has the intention to make Trump keep his word with accountability checks. Allied Progress director Karl Frisch made a statement about Trump keeping his promise:

“Among other things, President-elect Trump’s campaign was built on the notion that big banks, financial institutions, powerful special interests, and the corrupt politicians that do their bidding have taken advantage of America’s working class. On this we can agree. Unfortunately, as is all too often the case, those who gain power can become captive to the very special interests that they once derided.”

In the weeks and months ahead, Allied Progress will hold the President-elect’s transition and eventual administration accountable for its cabinet and staffing decisions as well as the policies it pursues. The following questions will help show if Trump will follow through with this promises:

Who will President-elect Trump appoint to his cabinet?
Who will he hire to carry out his agenda?
What will Trump do to government agencies responsible for holding big banks and financial institutions accountable?

At the end of the day, Americans hope the next President will help millions of Americans who are struggling to get by. Can President-elect Trump help the American people? Follow Allied Progress on Facebook and Instagram to see how he is held accountable and whether he will abandon his call for real change and instead favor powerful special interests he lambasted on the campaign trail.
