Wrong, Rob, plain wrong, on the family money helping children, especially with housing.

That has always been the "norm".

What has changed is this norm has now become entrenched in a free market, democratic system.

The abnormal was that individuals WITHOUT family money could achieve property (and education) success without family money. It was more difficult, but achievable.

Now we are reverting back to the social construct of a landed gentry where access to superior housing, employment, education, and public services, comes with the historical to land ownership alone. This is not the premise or basis of a meritocracy.
