Like stocks, and art, they’re only as valuable as what people will pay for them.
If you want a shelter, you can use sticks and leaves in the forest and build something halfway decent at least. If you want a building to call your home, pay up dickhead.
Meanwhile, people who should be buying are renting, people who should be renting are in airbnbs or living in their cars, and the family dwellings are owned either by some jerkwad who wanted an income property, or a corporation that just felt like owning more land because they could.
I’m so proud of our society. Such progress! Capitalism is great!
“Like stocks, and art, they’re only as valuable as what people will pay for them.” Except this only takes into consideration what the rich will pay and that sets the “value”. I’m a people and my value for things is super low.
Yeah, the market only cares about the maximum that people will pay for it. You’re not offering the maximum, so you’re not important enough for the market forces to care about.
I’m not either, so… We’re in this boat together. You want to row on the starboard side? Or port?

Wrong, someone owns the forest and your encampment will be destroyed upon discovery.
Neat, go build another one down the river.
This is one of the dumbest takes imaginable
Well, that was the point.

I vote we just drift for a while.
As long as we don’t end up going over the waterfall, that should be fine.
I’m feeling we’ll end up going over it whether we row or not.
You’re probably right.
