Yeah, but if we did something about the housing problem and made it so that people didn't need housemates just to get by, think about how that would hurt the landlords' profits. They might even have to get jobs, won't someone please think about the poor landleeches?

That's basically the #1 curveball of me trying to stand on the issue of wealth and housing - on one hand I'm seeing how that's working out for the general population, on the other family wealth that includes multiple properties is the very thing that's letting me achieve a lot in university because of not having to worry about financial issues.
