    Prices adjust to what people can afford.

    What were you born in 2009? Prices have been outrageously detached from reasonable interpretations of “affordability” for ages and banks are more than happy to collect interest for the rest of your life.

      This is because some people still can afford to pay outrageous prices or willing (forced) to go into unreasonable debt.

          I think you’re reading into this, what you want to read and not what I’m saying

          My point was that if we all started from scratch, and fortunes weren’t passed over from generations to generations, the social and economic gap would be smaller

          Prices would adjust to what people could pay
