Politicians are all too aware that a metaphorical poverty freight train is coming for a generation of renters, but can a collision be avoided, asks David Taylor.
This is just so damn bleak. I honestly don’t know how my kids are going to rent OR buy in the future. I’d happily see the value of my house decline, if it was because the market became more affordable for the next generation.
It’s really hard to try and remain positive, especially when there are so many big problems getting so much attention and these are problems you can personally feel and relate to - or know someone close who can.
It goes on to create a feedback loop and your baseline can get so low that positive isn’t even a thought. If you’re lucky you have enough emotional support or numbness, maybe medication as well. But they can’t fix the underlying problems.
One thing is for certain, the system as we know it is not sustainable, it cannot last, and it will have to change. You just cannot have infinte growth with finite resources no matter how you want to slice it.
Can it change fast enough, gracefully, remains to be seen.

Sall good, climate issues will probably be the bigger thing for them to worry about in the future than securing a house :/
That too. See? Bleak.
