I'm saying that if they find a way to keep houses affordable to buy, they can't be viable investments. The US makes for a decent home investment market. You usually see a house price double every ~10 years once it's in a desirable area.
Btw, was your 40% increased house purchased 20 years ago? If so, that's effectively a loss, and I'm not even sure about the one that doubled. 5-10 years would be different.
Exactly, it's like complaining that gold is unfairly expensive. Those lucky Boomers got to purchase it at $40/oz in 1970 ($350/oz in 2025 money), now it's $2600/oz. I should be allowed to buy gold for $350/oz so I can profit like they did.
