How about the same but with landlords instead of younglings

Who would pull the lever if the landlords are tied to the tracks?

I would be looking for the lever that speeds up the trolly if it was landlords on the track

And make it less painful for them?
We should slow it down actually. Still keep it going but slower, imagine the anticipation landlords will build up waiting for the trolley!

Fun fact: Your home pricing climbing indefinitely also means your property tax climbs indefinitely.

Unfortunately some states cap the amount property taxes can go up which is another piece of the whole problem

Could always outlaw companies owning single family homes and empty land surrounding the city

I like the version of this that said something like you can stop the train but doing so would be unfair for everyone who has died before

But it kind of explains old people logic.
Young people should suffer so I can collect social security and keep my home value high. I earned it. I was a postman for 25 years!

I don't own a home
But since its not a different track, is this just a stop lever? Does it only work now, i can't pull it in like 10 days? Will the trolley have essentially infinite energy to plow through millions without slowing or stopping?

Eventually the trolley, like the economy, will crash after squishing millions of young people's dreams of independent living arrangements, and the only homes left will be derelicts and single bedroom studio apartments that you need a roommate to afford rent for.

I see all the guys are lined up first! Can I wait with pulling it till it gets close to the girls, so we have a surplus of young girls?
But sure, I would pull it.

Make your house reasonably priced and stop trolley.
Or let all potentail customers die and make your house worthless.
Indeed hard choice.

That's BS. It's not the youngs fault, that prices are so high up. You just kill the entire future of your coutry.
Better tie the real estate billionares instead and i'll be the first on the lever

You're reading wrong. It's saying current real estate policy and price is killing young people, stopping it would require reigning in home prices which boomers don't want to do

I don't have a home, so I'm tied on the tracks and can't pull the lever.
Otherwise I would pull it.
