> Losing a car or a TV is not going to make someone homeless.

Your house losing 100k$ in value isn't going to make you homeless either (quite the opposite actually). If you buy a house and it depreciates, so what?

Not to mention if everyone's house depreciates, your new house is cheaper to buy. You lose _nothing_, except imaginary dollar values.

> Calling people like that speculators shows a severe lack of understanding and empathy.

I don't know what you call preventing young people from buying, or even renting, at affordable prices so 'people like that' don't have a possibility of losing some money, but you sure as fuck don't call it empathy either.
