Removal of shop protection

Hate to break it to you, Smythie, but we're spending about as much resources on building house as people had to back in that time period. You seem to think that since we're not paying for our houses we're not spending resources on it, but some people buy the resources and either way resources are used. Then also in the bigger cities some do, in fact, have to pay for their house. So in what way is your argument valid?
