Due to some people having extremely high incomes, that average ends up being a lot higher than what 50% of the population earns. This means that for those people ending up below the "average", in particular those at or close to minimum wage, houses are way too expensive.
In my country, the house owners get to decide on the price they want to sell. They hire a real estate agent to be the middlemen. But that wasn't my point in that sentence. My point is that the OP is unhappy with the pricing of the houses because he couldn't afford it, and why couldn't he afford it? Because he loses interest easily in MONEY MAKING opportunities. OP made the choice to not work for something and then complain about it.

I wouldn't say that there would be zero backlashes if the focus was differently, but the amount would definitely be LESSER. There are always consequences to things you do, if you post something in public without thinking thrice about what could happen, you just gotta deal with it.
