You nailed it with those metaphors, Theo! It's heartbreaking, but I hope this visibility pushes the developers to finally deliver the homes people were promised.

Spot on, Theo. It's the same story everywhere—developers chase the flashy high-ends while regular families can't even afford the basics.

Those luxury tower renders look like a total power-up, but the reality for buyers sounds like a glitchy nightmare. It's wild seeing the skyline climb while so many people are still stuck on the loading screen for a home. Do you think these high-rises actually help or just make the gap worse?
