Not sure I agree with the title that no one can ”escape” it. I think the wealth hoarding class does very nicely out of everyone else's misery. Perhaps if things don't turn around their grand children might go from owning the whole country to facing a guillotine.

More likely once there is a large enough percentage of people who will have no hope of owning, then they will start to have an effect at the polling booth.

Owning a house is a primary thing, but only a single one where you live long term and keep your belongings. Otherwise how can you expect any kind of privacy (a landlord not coming in with their own set of keys) or that your belongings won't get thrashed while you're at work or abroad for a longer time?
