Considering how crazy expensive accommodations have become the last couple of years, concentrated in the hands of greedy corporations, landlords and how little politicians seem to care about this problem, do you think we will ever experience a real estate market crash that would bring those exorbitant prices back to Earth?

No, unless there is a thanos-snap, then everything like housing, energy, and climate change will resolve automatically. But if humans keep on breeding like bunnies and outsmart things like aids, ebola, and even covid, overpopulation will put a lot more people in misery.

Every problem we solve only gives the opportunity for population growth... until the earth can't sustain us anymore.

It sounds cruel and that is why a lot of people won't admit this.

Do you guys not have ~~phones~~ parents? You will get a house when they die. If you have siblings, you can always murder them. If your parents dont have a house, then you are fucked.

No. Stop hoping and take the houses instead.

Not unless you liberals accept socialism is the only way forward

Idk about this fad. I bought a house at 25 without a problem, and haven't heard of my friends having much problems either. Is this a US thing or what?

Want prices to drop?

Stop buying houses.

Eventually the bubble will burst.

The economy will be shit for a few years. And Eventually things will return to normal.
