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?

    “no political party wants to create economic decline.”

    I’m afraid I have to disagree.

      Yeah economic decline is actually being sold as the solution to global warming. It’s called “cutting back” but really it means making everyone poorer.

        Ah yes, because building renewable energy generation, electric vehicles, fortifying the electric grid, repurposing and developing land formerly used for mining and fracking… All things that happen for free.

        The solution for global warming has never been “use less than you need” it’s always been “use what you have better”.

          How about using what we want? Is that part of the plan? Or is it only what we need?
