do u want ur house to be worth one third of what it is now?

recently, a very senior member of my country's executive branch asked that.

sadly, i wasn't present at that press meeting to tell him what i told my wife, that i do.

it is uncommon for me and my fellow citizens to own more than a house,
so, what price my house is worth doesn't mean a lot unless i am welling to cash out and be homeless.
and at the rate housing price is escalating, i fear for my kids' ability to buy when the time comes.

i have a ? for that minister though.
after 45 years of governing the country,
why is he still so proud when majority of the people can't afford a house unless its subsidized?
