Do you think we will ever have affordable housing again in our lifetime? (lemmy.world)

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?

Your grasp of the distinction between apartment and building is as abysmal as every other concept you mention.

Also you seem to be equally ignorant of the idea of owning an apartment and of social housing.

Ah, you are just a common troll. Got it. I was a bit tired, so I fed you after midnight. Won't make that mistake again. Good night.

It's very clear. They didn't mean home as to mean any residence ever. They meant single family dwellings. I'm very confused as to how you didn't understand this.
