- collyw 10y agoMost people under 40 can't afford a house in many western countries. Compared to 20 years ago, most people could (at least in the two countries I am familiar with - the UK or Spain). The very rich seem to be doing OK though.
- cheriot 10y agoThe more, more, more does seem to wind up with fewer people. I'm skeptical of the unaffordable housing arguments, though. People only talk about a handful of cities. At least in the US, there's plenty of cheap places to live. They just aren't trendy.
- collyw 10y agoThose happen to be the cities where the jobs are. Sure there are cheap places in the UK, but not much chance of a decent tech job in those places.
