And for the last 20, 25 years, the answer has been no.
And so we've seen prices go up and up.
And, you know, the...
political motives are all there.
And you see politicians saying, you know, we want affordable housing for young people, but we don't want to hit the home values of retirees who are relying on it.
And it's like, well, you get one or the other.
This is the problem, right?
Because that's who votes, right?
Like, that's who votes.
You know, homeowners, the elderly vote.
Young people don't vote, so they don't get a say.
Well, if we just look at a regular home, you know, the example I was saying to you yesterday was if we look at a home near a hospital that a doctor lives in, right?
And we've got to assume that when the doctor bought that home, it was affordable for someone on a doctor's salary.
If we move forward 50 years, the hospital is still there.
That home should probably be filled by another doctor.
It's not going to be a Russian oligarch, you know, a crypto billionaire or whatever.
It's going to be a regular person who works at the hospital.
And thus, it must be priced such that the doctor can afford it.
And the rate at which wages go up is roughly in line with the rate of inflation.
So to believe that house prices should go up significantly more than inflation in the long run doesn't really make much sense.
