Situations are highly dependent on your background, network, and your strengths/weaknesses.

For the last decade, home building has been very weak with population still growing.

If they did, everyone would be doing it and it wouldn't be all that radical or inspiring or profitable.Yes, you can kick a "weak" horse.

You take a weak-minded ignoramus's dreams of affluence, put a tiny price tag on them, and hand them a slip of paper that serves as a certificate of authenticity for their dreams.That's all you have to do to whore those fantasies out for $2 forever.

They can barely afford to pay their mortgages and taxes there and live in perpetual fear that they'll have to downgrade or move their kids out of the school system they're in, an unthinkable loss of social status.As their kids grow, they unthinkingly strengthen then strong and weaken the weak, culminating in too many avoidable instances of weak, brittle, fearful young people of privilege who are unable to deal with any sort of real adversity and only really do anything when faced with the possibility that inaction might significantly damage their own precious social status, documented daily on Instagram, Facebook, etc.So in my private life of old friends and family, I find myself somewhat hemmed in by incredibly hard-working people who care a great deal about social status and constantly make utterly inane excuses about why they're all so damned broke as they drive massively depreciating cars and live in houses that are dumpster fires of various expenses.
