I think this falls down because things aren’t getting better, at least in the US. People are less likely to own a house than their parents were at their age, minimum wage hasn’t increased in line with inflation and has therefore effectively decreased, higher education is more expensive etc.

And then you see people who profit off of making things worse buying their third house and you start to think it’s not exactly fair.
