Summary
<p>Insane house prices are destroying the middle-class dream of home ownership. Or... are they?</p> <p>Is there actually a housing crisis? Or are most people, in fact, comfortably paying historically-unremarkable mortgage repayments for a desirable product? Economist Cameron Murray argues for this unpopular (you might even say “uncomfortable”) heterodox view. While many of his peers, like our recent guest <a href="https://uncomfortableconversations.substack.com/p/has-home-ownership-become-hereditary?utm_source=publication-search">Peter Tulip</a>, argue that house prices are too high because of a lack of supply, Cameron reckons they’re actually… <em>checks notes</em>… just fine.</p> <p>Josh pushes on this theory, from interest rates to immigration to the politics of property, in a conversation that asks what really drives up the property price tag, what we’re really paying for... and why we just can’t stop talking about it.</p>
