Oh, King Crimson is the finest wild ride ever. They did things that couldn’t be done anywhere else. However, I don’t know anything about Jojo. I just started listening to KC in the 90s, when they were producing their last memorable original works. They are truly amazing. My favorite albums are the one you mentioned, Discipline, Lark’s tongues in aspic and Thrak, though, Red is highly praised by most people. Also, if you can watch them live, even these days with the band getting old, they are an absolute delight.
It’s not the stupids, but the greeds first and foremost. You can look back at the greedy mf’s that started every single thing and they weren’t punished.
Owning your own home is a privilege, which wasn’t available to the general public until 19-20 century depending on a country. And it’s still not available to many in some countries.
Have you ever heard about the housing crisis? The UK for example has a 4.3 million homes deficit. That’s 6.3% of the population if you want to give everyone a house. But if accounting for families of at least two people, then it’s more like 12.6% of the population without homes.
The situation is very similar in most developed countries, especially in Europe. Countries like Italy and Poland have severe overcrowding, 35% of Poles don’t have enough living space (meaning they live in house shares and only have one room to themselves).
So yeah, it is a privilege. Always was. And as the worldwide population grows, housing will only become even more scarce as land is a finite resource.
we have more than enough to provide housing for all in developed countries
That’s false. There is not enough housing all over the world, with just a few exceptions like Singapore. But it’s much better than 100-200-300 years ago. And since this thread is about home ownership specifically, home owners are only a fraction of those who actually live in good enough accommodation.
Thus returning to the original point - owning a house is a privilege. Always was and will be for a very long time. First we need to solve the housing crisis and at the very least provide council housing, but that’s not ownership, it’s just a better rent. And if the global population continues to grow then ownership will become even less accessible.
I’m about to turn 39. I just want a home or apartment of my own. Why is this happening? Why did the stupids get so powerful?
King Crimson’s Epitaph lyrics, from 1969, sing:
Well, knowledge is a deadly friend, when no one sets the rules. The fate of all mankind, I fear, is in the hands of fools.

Have you tried Necrophagist’s Epitaph? Technical death metal is a much more appropriate genre for these trying times.

Because our priorities are wrong

You want too much.

You literally said:
