Most people on the planet can't afford a home or start families. They can barely pay their rents to avoid ending on up the street.

Do you believe that across the planet, that is worse or better than it was 20 years ago? 40 years ago?
Do you believe the housing crisis, living wages and affordability is better than it was 20 years ago? 40 years ago? If so, where ?
Median wages are way up. Housing affordability is down, and it's pretty easy to trace that to a single root cause.
Do I have to believe it across the planet or just for me right now?
GP said "most people on the planet"; I'm responding to that.
