Supply alone will not solve a problem that large sections of the population don’t want to fix

It’s a bit of a clickbait title. I shared this here a few days ago and cherry-picked this paragraph for the summary, which I think gets to the point:

A housing system that serves all but one group is not in a state of crisis; it is one based on structural inequality and economic exploitation.

We live in a time where you can have several properties rented out for only marginally kinder prices than other properties in the area, and still be struggling financially. Selling several turned out to be a bad call.

But there’s also a point where the inequality of the system reaches crisis levels. You could afford a house on basic education and wage in decades past. Today, you can’t even afford to rent.
