Considering how crazy expensive accommodations have become the last couple of years, concentrated in the hands of greedy corporations, landlords and how little politicians seem to care about this problem, do you think we will ever experience a real estate market crash that would bring those exorbitant prices back to Earth?

    I mean I do kind of expect the world to completely collapse within 20 years, so kinda?

    A cave or a half-destroyed building in an overgrown city are free right? Doesn’t get cheaper than that.

        Any kind of prepping is 100% useless unless you’re also part of a (para)military organisation that can hold its own after collapse. Imagine trying to defend your homestead against a corps of fully trained and equipped marines with a single shotgun or hunting rifle.

        To be fair, that’s technically not much different than what you’d have to do to keep the sheriff from evicting you if you were squatting in a house today.
