    I don’t even need a house but high density housing is shifting towards being built as a luxury because its more profitable (and less work) to sell a couple to the people that DO pay than keep everything always occupied for affordable pricing.

        There was some movie (rather old, from 40s-50s I believe) about how a gang tried to rob a big supermarket they worked for. And after they were caught at the end of the movie, the police inspector was explaining how stupid they are with arguments like this: Imagine you stole merchandise for a 10’000 (movie was old, so I suppose that still was a serious sum), you wouldn’t be able to sell it more than for 2-3k. Then you need to rent a lorry for all night and better for a few days to move out the stolen goods, a few hundred minus. (Then some other expenses I don’t remember…) And then look at yourself, divide all what’s left among yourselves and you get a few hundred dollars each at best while risking a huge prison times.
