    State forces people to invest their money if they don’t want it to be inflated into nothing, people choose housing in the hope to save wealth for the future. State destroys the value of the savers by devaluing housing. A fine example of the failure of central planning.

      Housing is not suppose to be an investment. It’s suppose to HOUSE people. That fact that it is the most profitable investment is a failure of the legislature.

        That’s supports what I said.

        That fact that it is the most profitable investment is a failure of the legislature.

        That’s what I said (not the most profitable though, just profitable).

      One more time for the slow people I guess:

      Housing can’t be affordable AND a good investment. Investments have to grow above inflation. Affordable things CAN’T grow above inflation.

          Ok so then why are you calling these rent-seeking parasites “savers”? They’re relying on state violence for their investment to make any return at all.

          Anything that becomes a vehicle for savings will have a higher market price than it otherwise would. Higher housing prices hurt tenants and taxpayers, higher imaginary points prices hurt nobody.

          These pricks aren’t your buddies and they aren’t “saving”. Fuck 'em.
