That's life.

Just like rampant HPI happens and prevents people from buying their home because they were born too late.
You say some people will never own their own home and that this has always been the case.
Yet people who can't pay their mortgage should be helped to buy their home.
I don't understand why you consider one situation OK and the other not.
Your probably right, all the bears whinging about prices and waiting for the jigsaw pieces to fit together,should just get on with it and buy.

But many people who have been deemed able to afford to "buy" have only done so through financial trickery and under "normal" cicumstances would not have been allowed to buy in the first place.
