10. A whole generation has been conditioned to believe in "what the market will bear is right"
There is no such thing as "overpriced" or "thoo much profit". If someone will pay it, it's worth that much.

My Stepdad is one of these - he pooh-poohed my gripes about the absurd price of houses with this free-market dogma BS.

This guy thought of Reagan as the second coming.

Of course, he and my mom spend like sailors on leave with a fancy cliffside house overlooking the city, always late-model cars, trips abroad, eating out at the nicest restaurants several times a week - and they have practically ZILCH in savings although they're almost 70.

Whatever.
