I've just seen this cartoon by Hajjaj. It's true that the cost of renting/buying houses is getting higher, and it's becoming more difficult to get a decent home for a reasonable price these days, but why?
Everyone may notice how expensive the residential houses/apartments, but not everyone knows that the prices of construction materials, such as cement, are being raised as well! You can ask anyone who is in the process of building a house how much it is costing them...
I'm not saying that, given this proportion, the houses are being sold for fair prices... but this deserves some thinking, and looking for the real reasons behind the problem!
