Your mindset is like someone who wants to make a profit when times are difficult, but in the future, you will also experience difficulties. Land and property prices are high and you have to work hard to make money to be able to buy it, not hope that there will be a crisis that makes it cheap and you buy it.
Exactly, this short minded take won't do good, not to mention that right now with tighter regulation in regard of mortgage, the housing bubble will have smaller chance of happening again, as a realistic person, I don't expect there to be sudden crisis that could make the price of lands and real estate to decline.
I think OP here just trying to justify war as well which honestly kinda insane. because from my idea, i'd prefer to hold off delaying myself buying property than having a war which impact usually devastating.
we all know even with current ongoing conflicts in various places, and the wars occuring it has impacted so badly to the worldwide economic, why anyone could think adding more war could give them opportunity.
yes he can buy a house but he won't have money for something else as anything becomes more expensive due to supply and demand.
if OP want to buy land and property you work hard, pump that income up then you can buy all those without wishing disaster upon people, I think the opportunity to become rich right now is more accessible than ever, anyone just need to take advantage and leverage.
