Maybe that's just me being blinded by my own personal interest but the whole thing seems immoral and unsustainable. I wouldn't go so far as too tell people that their homes are too big for their needs and they are obliged to downsize but we really should do something about people who see property as route to the rich life and screw society.
"Getting there first" wasn't the thought on my mind. My thoughts were to find a small palace to rest my head with the one I love. I've/We've earned every penny to buy those bricks and we haven't finished yet.
