But nothing we can do I guess but accept the world we live in and do out best Between the fact that so many countries have seriously complicated house construction (and NIMBYs don't help with densification either) and add to that the fact that realestate became seen as an investment and commodity rather than just where someone lives, all together it got as expensive as it did Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
