Let's be clear: none of the condo or homeowners "deserve" these economic gains, they are merely a wall that is raised ever higher to ensure that new entrants to the country are forced to pay their wages to existing homeowners' valuations.

Which is what makes complaints that it somehow doesn't benefit homeowners all the more outrageous: saying that "sure I'm on the other side of this wall, but I can only use my wealth to stay in this side of the wall" minimizes an absolutely huge unfair advantage you have over people unlucky enough to be born after you or not have wealthy parents.
