    Exactly.

    Our home has doubled in value in the last 7 years, but life would be better if it had’ve stayed at the same price.

    We’re lucky enough to have somewhere to live but as a community it really sucks that its so hard for so many people - the rental market is just awful, inhumane even.

    God forbid we want to buy a bigger home with some more room for the kids - upgrading just cost twice as much.

    My parents are boomers and have been beneficiaries of the eternal increase in property values throughout their lives. They’re in their 80s and really need to retire, but can’t really afford to. Increasing property prices aren’t really good for anyone.
