So I was listening yesterday and the reported says something like… Young people have a hard time getting a mortgage because the older generation has low mortgage rates…blah blah…but now they’re all loosing jobs, getting sick etc so “that will unlock housing or mortgages” something annoying like that.

Well yeah. It happens every generation. Until I suppose nobody can make enough money to rent either much less have a mortgage. I much rather hear about mortgage rates coming down after another happy CEO event. Yeah fucking unlock that shit please!

    It helps, I’m not denying that. But it can only ever slow down housing inflation and it can’t solve a housing shortage. As supply gets closer to demand their profits will start to drop. The only answer to that equation is the government paying them to keep building.
