    If we think of 1 monopoly dollar as 1k USD and 1 turn as 1 year, the rent for the first brown property with 1 house, would be about right for the cost of renting a mobile home (which is think is reasonable for a 1 house brown)

    parent root

    It wouldn't be too hard to argue that each monopoly dollar is equivalent to 1000 real dollars, so really you'd be starting off with less than a single monopoly dollar

    If nobody gets any monopoly and nobody want to trade thats exactly what happens. You just keep going around collecting money and the game goes on forever because more money enters the game than leaves it.

    The perspective of the supposedly deep thought is that you should invest in real estate.

    Yes, it would be great to invest your money and see long-term gains, but we're the ones running around the board paying GM ryperds and trying to stay out of Jal.

    Buying property means that if your home province becomes obsolete, you’re out your investment.

    At least renting means you are under no illusion the investment will pay for itself.

    Over the last 8 years of rent ive paid aabiut 450k to my landlord, the house im renting is only worth 325k. Reason i am renting is because 10 years ago i was 18 with no credit, due to never having had debt to pay, and my bank wouldnt give me a loan. Today i still cant get a loan because i "cant afford a payment of $1100 a month," when that is literally what i pay in rent.

    The cool think about monopoly is you start with like $2000 which is enough to buy the most expensive thing 4 times. In this analogy the average person starts with $20 and has to hope they never get hit with a fee before they make it around the board

    Okay? I’m pretty sure the original game by Magie had a specific mode for critiquing monopolies. Also, I literally said Monopoly is georgist and now you’re repeating that claim. Your original claim is that it was a critique of capitalism, not a critique of private property.

    Actually, that’s the way you’re supposed to play. After a couple games of ‘hey, it really sucks to be anyone but the winner’, you’re supposed to realize ‘hey, if no one ever buys anything, no one else ever has to pay rent. The only thing that ever costs anyone any money is taxes, which only ever take a percentage of what you have anyway. If everyone just cooperates and doesn’t buy anything, everyone just keeps getting richer, forever.’ And then you stop playing because that’s boring as shit, but you learned a lesson about capitalism at least.

    Lol. Maybe just maybe they should do something to break that cycle then instead of mindlessly wandering around, sticking their hands out to others to give them money and then handing that money over to those that are providing some of the most important things in life (food and shelter).

    In any case, here at least, if you look at home ownership rates its well over 50%, especially if you exclude under 18s or those very early in their careers (say under 30s).
