Ban landlord culture and property prices drop.
Kinda sucks for those already with a mortgage. Defending rental culture because someone might lose out now only guarantees that an ever increasing majority lose out in the future.
It's not just landlords pushing it up.
The constrained supply, the low interest rates, the greedy banks pushing bigger and bigger mortgages, government "help to buy" schemes which appear to be a way to help people buy homes, but in effect just pushes the price ever higher...
The centralisation of jobs in certain areas. We have the internet. This could have practically solved the property crisis on it's own, along with overloaded transport systems and pollution, but rich people were losing too much money, so back to the office, plebs.
Yeah it would suck to have my house drop in value while I still owe the bank so much money, but anyone who isn't willing to suck it up for the obvious greater good is an asshole.
