Just wondering what peoples ideas are of the long term (40+ years) of property investment, and how they feel about those possible futures.
With all the talk by governments about how bad housing affordability is, and how it will most probably get even worse, I wonder if it will get to a point where people truely can not affort to buy their own home, or to even rent one. What would happen if this did come about? Would the government try to interveen? Or would the people who couldn't afford homes try? This would be assuming, less people own their own homes, than the investors do.
Or, will the market even out again naturally somehow? Or is the affordability issue just a lot of hype?
