"Critics describe homeownership as a Ponzi scheme, 'a massive up-front transfer of wealth from younger people to older people, on the implicit promise that when those young people become old, there will be new young people willing to give them money.' - The Case Against Homeownership (https://twitter.com/TheMarcusGarret/status/1673023720263131143?s=20).
