But currently there is no way they could afford a mortgage.
At what point in past would anybody in that situation have been able to buy a house?

Buying a house is meant be an aspiration, not a right. If you're not buying as a home only, then people should quit whinging about it. Eg You can't really complain about not being able to buy a 3 bed house, when you've just graduated and only yourself is going to be living there.
