How is it fair to distribute the supply of housing of a city, a place that people have roots in, generations sometimes who actually have a history there, just to the luckiest and greediest? Instead of, let's say, the people who have actually built that city which those rich folks seems so desirable to move in? I really don't understand how you can use fair to call a system like that.
- xwdv 4y agoHow fair is it for generations of people to indefinitely hold onto desirable pieces of property they inherited for cheap until the day they die simply because they were born there? Not very. And someone buying a property could easily be the beginning of new generations of people who will have long history there. Do they not deserve a chance too? Paying for things is a fair exchange.

No, it's not fair that someone with more money can take over land, it's the market and the way the world is but it's not fair. The only way this would be fair is if everyone started from the exact same spot in regards to resources: money, education, intelligence, etc. which isn't realistic at all.
