  • Everyone sane did. Yet somehow plenty here were adamant and were running to sell their investments ASAP instead of investing more. I have no clue how people can be that stupid...

  • I don't understand where the author got the idea that git was production ready in 10 days... Let's look at git history:

    • Official development started on 03.04.2005.
    • Git could self host on 07.04.2005.
    • Git achieved Torvald's performance goals on 29.04.2005.
    • On 16.06.2005 git was used to release the Linux kernel for the first time. That can be considered the first beta release, which achieved its goals, but wasn't production ready yet.
    • Production ready v1.0 was released on 21.12.2005. That's waaaaaaaay longer than 10 days.

    No good software is released in 10 days.

  • You literally said:

    we have more than enough to provide housing for all in developed countries

    That's false. There is not enough housing all over the world, with just a few exceptions like Singapore. But it's much better than 100-200-300 years ago. And since this thread is about home ownership specifically, home owners are only a fraction of those who actually live in good enough accommodation.

    Thus returning to the original point - owning a house is a privilege. Always was and will be for a very long time. First we need to solve the housing crisis and at the very least provide council housing, but that's not ownership, it's just a better rent. And if the global population continues to grow then ownership will become even less accessible.

  • Have you ever heard about the housing crisis? The UK for example has a 4.3 million homes deficit. That's 6.3% of the population if you want to give everyone a house. But if accounting for families of at least two people, then it's more like 12.6% of the population without homes.

    The situation is very similar in most developed countries, especially in Europe. Countries like Italy and Poland have severe overcrowding, 35% of Poles don't have enough living space (meaning they live in house shares and only have one room to themselves).

    So yeah, it is a privilege. Always was. And as the worldwide population grows, housing will only become even more scarce as land is a finite resource.
