Any major housing crash will probably affect your ability to purchase a home. The real solution is laws limiting property investment combined with building new, dense housing in areas that already have services.

fuck BlackRock and Merz with it!
Vanguard and State Street too. All three together run the US, thanks to Reagan’s privatization of retirement accounts.
During a collapse, what stops them from swooping in and buying up cheap property?
Bullets
The belief that it'll stay cheap and they won't make money
the inability to be able to rent it at a profit usually. If they don't think they can get money out of it, they won't want to. If the economy hits a point where the housing market collapses, chances are they aren't going to want to risk the buy in knowing that they likely won't be able to sell for equal amount.
Or the much faster method: the "scary" government regulating it
Millennials that bought in their 20s or early 30s are doing fine, gen Z in the other hand...
Been waiting since 2008.
