Yep, since housing has became too expensive almost everywhere for almost everyone. Instead of focusing on one specific profession, we should focus on policy, where we actually built more houses (by allowing more to be built and at higher density), make houses houses, not hotels (so ban stuff like airbnb) and make housing-as-an-investment impossible (by eg limiting the amount of houses someone can own in areas with high demand).
But a few rich people would lose some money if we did that, so no, we'll focus on teachers in australia only.
- returningfory2 3y agoI generally agree, but one small disagreement: housing-as-an-investment can be important for having a robust and affordable housing rental market. Every rental agreement has an investor on one side of it.
- mstipetic 3y agoBuilding new houses yes. Buying existing stock as a speculation instrument while influencing policies not very much.
- ajsnigrutin 3y agoAlso, that involves actually renting out houses, not keeping them empty.
