I’ve always found the idea of property as an investment to be deeply entitled. IMO there is no morally justifiable reason why the price of housing in many western nations has skyrocketed over the past several decades, we’ve just artificially constrained supply by failing to build enough houses to match demand. Now more than ever it’s having a crippling effect on so many folks’ ability to lead a comfortable and happy life.
