  • In my area those who decide on new building projects own a lot of property, so they of course keep additional homes being build to a minimum to further increase prices of their property… it’s a rigged system, by design.


  • The problem is simple: in a perfect society we wouldn’t increase flat prices simply so a landlord can make even more profit. There is no actual, logical reason why the flat should cost 5x as much, only made up ones that basically say “but I wanna!”. There’s no actual 5x increase in costs for the landlord, they pocket most of that additional rent.
    Living space isn’t something you should be able to profit this heavily from in a functioning society, as it’s a basic necessity to life. It’s alright that nicer flats cost more but nowadays we value huge additional profits to landlords higher than basic human rights, provocatively spoken.
