I hope others are as fortunate as we’ve been, with even more and better opportunities to secure a home and build a stable future for themselves.

Unfortunately, because capitalism is a zero-sum game, your fortune actually specifically means that others won't have the same opportunity. I hate it here!

Ideally, we want a society in which real estate doesn’t need to be a store of wealth because we have strong social safety systems. I don’t blame an individual with difficult circumstances for playing the game to take care of their family (to an extent).
