HN is over-represented by young people in tech, often immigrants (like me), who are "outsiders" in the Stockholm system. Hence, a lot of the complaints here. Stockholm also has a free-market system - go buy a condo or house. But you can't when you're a young - it's too expensive. Most people can't buy them when they are old either. But the queue means that you will get one. If you are in a rush, you get one in a less attractive neighborhood and then try and swap your way to a nicer place - there is a market for swapping rent controlled contracts (lagenhetsbyte.com).
