    It’s a bit of a clickbait title. I shared this here a few days ago and cherry-picked this paragraph for the summary, which I think gets to the point:

    A housing system that serves all but one group is not in a state of crisis; it is one based on structural inequality and economic exploitation.

      But there’s also a point where the inequality of the system reaches crisis levels. You could afford a house on basic education and wage in decades past. Today, you can’t even afford to rent.

      We live in a time where you can have several properties rented out for only marginally kinder prices than other properties in the area, and still be struggling financially. Selling several turned out to be a bad call.
