                  It is not, the rulling class is considering it similar to anarchy, people have too much freedom to do what they want. The constuct they’ve used in the past with long mortgages and expensive boxes will not keep people into place.
                  You won’t be able to use the rent extraction mechanism so suddenly people can relocate anywhere and save too much.
                  Just my two cents.

                  Anyone that has any thougts on rents? Plenty of people have left the country but with no effect yet, or I do not have the information.
