There's a lot of people calling for "more sustainable" decisions to be codified into the law. The idea is it'll help reduce energy usage. Sounds nice but reality doesn't stop at intended effects.
We have generations of people who are already priced out of home ownership forever and are well on their way to not being able to rent either, this seems like it'll just make that even worse.
We're going to have a stratified class system where at the top you'll have the rich who are not just materially better off but considered morally superior because they can afford the latest whizbang environmentalism, and everyone else who don't have anything material to their name and are also considered monsters morally because they're forced to subsist using that horrible inefficient ancient stuff that's been grandfathered in for years.
I mean -- more than we already do.
This isn't good. When you disenfranchise generations of people like that, that's where you get populism. Presently populism is a four letter word among the left, so guess where you end up sending everyone?
We're on a freight train barrelling towards a future where people specifically reject everything that's being pushed right now because it is so decadent and divorced from reality. People who are barely able to get the basics of life are being told they're rich and they're evil for not using their "riches" to save the world, and if nothing changes the next step looks pretty scary for anyone with the slightest inclination towards any of this sort of thing.
