  • The title sounds happy but if you're chinese, that's a call of desperation due to social norm.

    For sons in particular, it's down to the Bank of Mum and Dad - and underpinned by the marriage market.[...]

    [...]Chinese parents know their sons' chances of marrying well are materially increased if they own a home.

    Dr Jieyu Liu, deputy director of the SOAS China Institute, told the BBC: "It is the custom that husbands will provide a home.

    No home no car = no marriage. Idk if you want that.

    The article also pointed to France, but also stated they chose not to own a house and prefer renting. Mainland Chinese(or Asian in particular) need to do it due to social expectation. Using the materialistic culture to proof your communism point is...ironic.

    • This makes me think about the high quality government housing in Vienna.And that 62 percent of Vienna's citizens live in it. It's so sick looking and I'm so jealous.
