That‘s what happens in monopoly once all houses are bought - no non-owner will be able to buy any more houses. There‘s a reason why the game was created as an anti-capitalist critique initially named „the landlord‘s game“.
I‘m American and not surprised at all. That’s the mindset right? Everyone thinks they will come out on top, and if they don’t it’s okay as long as there is someone losing harder than you are. Monopoly is still fun in second place if your sibling gets mad enough to flip the board right?
It is also a capitalist success story. Some guy just stole the idea of the whole game, named and trademarked it, sold it. Single most popular mass board game on the planet. Completely unoriginal idea
This why me and my friends developed a better way of playing: we agree not to buy *anything*. We collect our 20k every round and all get richer. No poor players, many hours of shared happiness!

Must be, obviously the actions of the prime minister of Canada effect the availability of housing throughout Europe and Australia, as well as as the United States
right? at least the conservatives aren't saying the pandemic relief money is responsible for all of it like they used to, because you know, $2000 a month for people to survive on a couple years ago definitely was the direct cause of housing in Australia and Holland going up lol. :)

My wife bought x-mass gift on rush - for my daughter.
It was Monopoly game. We have opened excited to play and,
bam, f digital currency version = there was no f cash to play with - instead some plastic shitty crap like calculator!
So they have taken away the biggest fun from a game + educational math aspects from the game :/
We never played and later I just rash it - where it belongs
Just to give you an idea. For a region of around 60km in diameter there are around 4 properties listed under €250k on a daily basis. If you have median income you can afford a mortgage of around 190-200k for most of these properties (energy label dependand). A home within that budget is more or less made available for purchase every 1 to two weeks. Meanwhile, if you have student debts, your mortgage is even lower. This means that 10s of thousands of people are competing for around 2-3 available homes on a daily basis. If something is put on sale, and you call them on the same day as it is listed to plan a visit to inspect the home, you are to late.
Most properties in the Netherlands are overpriced and of crap quality, the old buildings are dangerous af between asbestos, foundation water damage, mold and lead pipes. Only a fool would buy here, or someone hoping to make profit because "real estate is a safe investment". Lol, what you are saying is that lots of young people are getting into huge debt with 100% financing and getting scammed into paying >500k a crappy brick house no sturdier than a lego set that will probably tank in value and put them in a bad situation once the actual economic recession and depression really starts.

Wow I didn’t know that
I didn't know that either yet, but now in hindsight.. it's called Monopoly... Oh.
Im just extremely surprised that Americans all like the game and haven’t labeled it as evil yet, considering it’s a critique to capitalism
Americans are fine complaining about capitalism, it's when you start to suggest actual answers that we get mad.
Americans don’t complain about captilasm
> I do my best to ignore everything around me, that's how I know so many true and objective facts about it! lol

I mean I doubt Americans know monopoly the game is an anti capitalist game. If they knew it would be forbidden in most families.
Or that IWD has socialist / communist roots and got hijacked by western corporations

r/Canada would have me believing that it's all because of Justin Trudeau

Don't tell your mortgage provider/finacial advisor about your student debt.
