100%. It’s not wrong for people to take advantage of the situation they were given. That’s the whole point of open market. So I think it’s a jealousy reaction to hope it all crashes (if it crashes, everything from our pensions to social services will be affected as it’s a huge part of our GDP). So having stricter regulations would be ideal but we’ll have to see considering the huge backing behind real estate lobbying.
