Perché i giovani sono i grandi perdenti nel disfunzionale sistema abitativo europeo

I know enough families with houses for each of their youngs.

Weak and incoherent inheritance taxes means the wealth is concentrating more with each generation who play monopoly with the rest.

Some basic or strategic sectors shouldn’t be speculated on. You’re lucky if you get a second house at the beach, there’s funds buying up an entire market and monopolizing a fundamental economical factor.

I don’t necessarily agree that young people are the losers. Try get a divorce and you still need to pay a house you don’t live in and a maintenance for your kids and then you can begin to think about where you live, with which money. Or an old man with 500 euros retirement in a city. Young people have always struggled to find their place, every single generation but they’re far from being the only weak ones.

In cities like Copenhagen, it has become more lucrative to buy and sell property than to have a regular job. Some young people with regular jobs for example, in nursing or teaching can’t afford to buy property at all, so they move away, creating a shortage in their field. I’m just wondering if this can keep going on forever?

No, you don’t understand, housing as an asset. It’s meant to go up in price forever. And if you can’t afford to get on that train, that’s your fault for being born late and/or poor. No, you can’t build more housing, that would drive down my house price!

Because capitalism itself does not redistribute wealth, and western countries including europe, but not including the Warsaw pact countries (as they are still in early stages of capitalism due to u know… communism) are in late stage capitalism, we are so late that no one owns nothing anymore, we fully depend on services that are in private hands, and our payday loan situation is that we have normalised paying for food in instalments. I am for one glad Trump is destabilising the status quo. He is doing same old shit as usa before him, he just does not bother spending time on building spy points for casus belli and eats the stability penalty.

As a Canadian, I can assure you this isnt just a european problem.
