I think it will be interesting the day that a local community bans central banks/fractional reserve banking and starts to sell houses in Bitcoin/Gold. People will be able to afford houses in cash without going into life time debt.
People will be able to remote work due to internet technology, local work hubs will appear where you can have social interactions.

- acd 6y agoThis is probably very true, an utopia.
- rebuilder 6y ago>People will be able to afford houses in cash without going into life time debt. Well, sure, if the only people buying houses are the ones who can afford them without getting loans, you could technically describe it that way. But perhaps you could explain a bit further how hard currency / ban on fractional reserve would make housing affordable?
- acd 6y agoAgree such a system would make it harder for people who cannot afford to save for a house to buy it. I speculate that house prices has increased mainly due to credit expansion. If you limit credit expansion by using hard currency house prices would be more stable over time like hard assets.
- engineer_22 6y ago-> I speculate that house prices has increased mainly due to credit expansion. This is probably true, but not everywhere. There are still many places where the cost to build a replacement home (cost of labor and materials) is higher than the price of an existing house+land. Some societies try to solve this problem by forcing people to move.
