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?

Ah yes, shall I remind you that not everyone is as fortunate as you are. And your arrogant and self entitled attitude doesn't help the picture. I pity individuals like you, who think so highly of themselves.

Maybe we, the apes who work from 9 to 5 should simply die so that there is no one to pay the rent for your shitty apartments or service them.

Do you think you will be at the same place if you were born in a ghetto or to parents who would not be able to provide you with education. There are plenty of smarter kids out there who are way more capable than you will ever be but they would never achieve their true potential because of lack of education, opportunities, parental support, social circle, place, country, etc.

But I guess self awareness is not your forte.

And if you really wanted to make a positive impact you would make your housing affordable but we all know that would never happen.
