About 20 years ago, I was part of the Neighborhood Network - people concerned about good planning and good governance. The Mayor's office was pushing to allow more nmarket rate housing.

Housing prices in Europe were stagnating for a while but are expected to rise again due to the increase in interest rates, although inflation is slowing down. The right timing to buy a house continues to be tricky.

"600 or 700 [thousand dollar mortgage limits for an income of $100,000], somewhere there seems to be the indication, and I think it marks a pretty big shift. This will limit house price growth in future, and really limits how many properties people can own, because you can't shift your income massively overnight."
