Why?

>>214599424 (OP)
I did the maths today and I need to make approximately £7,833,000 in my lifetime, (net), i.e. I ideally have to leap into a 350~ish grand job right now and literally work until the day I die

The system is completely fucked and it allows undesirables to dictate policy

Boomers will claim that this generation just isn't working hard enough. They then go out of their way to attend every city Council meeting to vote on zoning laws to ensure that no high rise building devolpments will ever be in their vicinity and nothing will ever get done

Same here. I'd have to work for at least another 45 years so I can retire comfortably at the age of 72.

>How could giving the keys of the financial system and the money supply to a clique of people who prioritize their mutual profit above all else lead to negative outcomes to individuals outside said clique?

I'd be all in favor of high-rise developments around where I live, but then again, how can you make sure those properties won't end up in the hands of junkies, STD-riddled homos, rapefugees, and Visajeets? The point of living in the suburbs should be to live in a safe, low-pollution zone, not to live in a place where you'll risk getting knifed by some Haitian or Somali immigrant.

Houses are much bigger now.

No I don't think that was the reason

I think socialism caused this

>>214599553
That's why many people give up all together.
Why bother?
