Considering how crazy expensive accommodations have become the last couple of years, concentrated in the hands of greedy corporations, landlords and how little politicians seem to care about this problem, do you think we will ever experience a real estate market crash that would bring those exorbitant prices back to Earth?

      We’ll see what happens then. Apathy and despair is one possible combination. Anger and despair is another. They have very different results.

          Ask anyone under 20 about climate change. Zero faith that we’re going to survive as a species

          I think history is a better indicator of where human nature can go rather than current attitudes and trends.

            Great point. Historically life was orders of magnitude more difficult than today. There wasn’t food banks or welfare. There wasn’t computers and phones and cheap weed and alcohol to keep folks occupied.

            Average people could stand a chance against a current military with just numbers.

            Zero of those things are true today, so historically there is zero chance of a revolution today.

            Again, really great point.
