Just didn't live in Tokyo

only the megacities felt the pain?

Everybody felt the pain, but much less for people who didn't join impactful economic activities, to my understanding

got it thanks.

like right now people in China are leveraging 20, 30 years debt to buy houses meanwhile there's apparent bubble bursting on the edge.

to buy or not to buy 🏠

Yeah.. I've heard of difficulty in buying a house in China, while there's social pressure to do that

yes, wierd social dilemma🤷

Any thoughts?

😳😂👋

🤣🤣🤣🫣🫣🫣

Same problems in a bunch of other countries like the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc… it’s a big problem.

how so please?

Real estate prices have gone so high that it doesn’t make economic sense for anyone. Yet the government can’t let prices drop because it will undermine the middle and upper class retirement system.

interesting, thought my government is the only one stopping house prices from dropping lol

Interesting movie on the bubble:
