  • I keep trying to tell people that the model we have for housing essentially becomes a cross generational Ponzi Scheme.

    The first houses were all built low-cost high quality. However, because every person started treating their home as an investment, that means every person believes they deserved money for their home whether they improved it or wrecked it.

    I was arguing with a family member who pulled the “Wouldn’t YOU want to make money off selling your home?” (which I don’t have, I rent an apartment) My only answer was "It would be nice, but if not making a profit on my home meant that 10 more people had an affordable home they were living in, I would happily give that profit up. Of course that was followed by “Well aren’t you a saint.”

    Again, if my beliefs make me both a communist and a saint, then I’m doing good, I guess.
