Well, it certainly seems like that’s what is happening right now, and I don’t see a reason for it to stop any time soon. I’ve given up on the idea of buying a house for now. The idea of “investing” in what is clearly a game controlled very tightly by the house (the banks) is not to my liking. It’s like going to a casino that you know is run by the mob, where all the slots are rigged and every game is fixed.
