Well, they own most of the residential real-estate, but a lot of us are living in it with them and/or inheriting it, and there are plenty of families where everyone is being fed off of Grandma's pension.
It's just a gigantic demographic overhang. Nobody wants to build lots of houses, to bring down prices, as they know that the population will shrink dramatically, afterward, and then they're stuck with a bunch of empty houses. It'll turn around, really fast, and then everything will be differently weird.

I'm really glad we moved in and that we get along so well. We can't afford to buy a place this nice and she can't afford the upkeep and can't perform the maintenance, so it's a nice symbiosis.
