@lightning @chjara Very pretentious ancient greek for "the people" or "the proles".
And housing in America (USA & Canada, probably the rest too) has been fucked into completely ridiculous prices by car-centric development and SFH-only zoning. So despite there being ample territory, it's so mismanaged & misused that there's a constant lack of adequate housing which drives the prices of the rest through the roof.
