Me waiting for the housing market to collapse so I can afford a home
Text content
C'MON DO SOMETHING
Overview
This is a relatable meme illustrating widespread frustration with unaffordable housing prices. On the left side, there is a crudely drawn, tired-looking stick figure holding a cane, glancing dejectedly to the right. The text above the figure reads "C'MON DO SOMETHING". To the lower right is a stock photo of a typical suburban single-family home, with a steeply rising red line graph above the house representing continuously increasing housing prices. The core joke is the creator expressing impatient hope that the overheated housing market will crash to bring prices down to a level they can afford to buy a home, reflecting the sentiment of many people locked out of homeownership by rising living costs.
Origin notes
This meme was sourced from an RSS feed of the Reddit r/Meme subreddit, with the exact original posted title provided. It is a remix of the popular long-running "C'mon do something" stick figure meme template, which is commonly used online to express frustrated impatience with unwanted stagnant or rising trends. The template was edited to add the house and rising price graph elements to comment specifically on housing affordability issues.
