This is the height of irrationality and one of the reasons why I find capitalism so irrational: it's constantly producing these situations in which there's a social need of some kind, which is not being met--

The financial situation produces the following paradox - that there are all these empty houses around and there are large numbers of people who have a lack of adequate housing.
