    For 1-5 you can blame the people paying scalpers prices instead of just waiting.

      When scalpers buy all the tickets to a concert in milliseconds, and the only way to buy a ticket is through a scalper, why are you blaming the person who wants to go to the concert instead of the scalper?

        If we all collectively agreed to not buy from scalpers the ticket sellers would have a real incentive to do something against the scalpers. Right now they don’t have to care.

          Would thry?

          The ticket seller doesn’t care if there’s an empty hall, he got paid early on.

          You’re hoping that the scalpers don’t get enough return to be able to justify continuing to play their role.

            Yes, that’s what “If we all collectively agreed to not buy from scalpers” would achieve. I get that that isn’t going to happen but it is still our collective fault.

      You could, but they aren’t the ones causing the issue, they’re just enabling profits to be made from it.

      6 as well. Imagine if nobody would buy houses and just expand their parents house by a floor for their own family.

      If that doesn’t work - make the neighborhood criminal by yourself right after those “people” bought houses.

      If that doesn’t work, just purge them.

        Oh yeah its totally affordable to just expand in existing houses. Why didn’t i think of that?

          I didn’t say anything about affordability, just stated that it’s cheaper than purchasing land + house

        I think that’s what caused the housing market to crash.

        Surely it’ll happen one of these days right?

          If my assumptions are correct, there should be a crash of something within the next 4-6 months. My problem is that a new president always means a new unknown variable, like Bitcoin did nearly double its value after Trump won, there will be a still unknown thing once he gets into office.
