    Oh man, I can’t afford buying a small flat let alone house. Things are really fucked up at the moment, price/salary wise. Like you need 300 average salaries to buy a small house in some God forgotten place.

      This is why those who own homes and are already in a wealthier position than most, should be stepping up and installing solar panels as people who cannot even afford a home are likely already polluting less.

        Perhaps those wealthier should also consider not hoarding real estate properties, so the less fortunate or younger have a chance to buy their own.

          Most of the landlords hoarding properties in the U.S. these days are corporations; many of them not even U.S. based.

          Homes should not have been allowed to be investments as what is happening with prices is expected. It is basically stocks someone lives in.
