Why Housing Prices Can’t Fall

A sitting U.S. president just said the quiet part out loud.
You can’t make housing affordable without knocking prices down,
and knocking prices down would wipe out the life savings of tens of millions of people.
That single contradiction explains why housing is broken, why politicians are trapped, and why every “solution” avoids the real problem.

This video breaks down:
• Why housing prices are structurally protected
• How homes became savings accounts and retirement plans
• Why debt and longer mortgages don’t fix affordability
• How the financial system props up housing prices at all costs
• And what all of this has to do with broken fiat money and Bitcoin
