Secure jobs - I was made redundant 3 times in the 70s-80s-90s, I never had a pension scheme until 1990 let alone a final salary scheme, and lost a significant amount due to lack of government regulation.
That was unfortunate and I wish that hadn't happened to anyone. Then or now.
But it still doesn't alter the case that a significant proportion of the home buying population did have those benefits and that house prices now are stratospheric by comparison.
