In what way does something becoming expensive (in this case housing) make it like a casino? And what would be a flip-side for that metaphor ("housing prices are remaining where they are, which is like {{thing}}")?

Not disagreeing you, just unable to follow the connection you are making.

Housing used to be about acquiring acceptable shelter. Now it's more like paying high fees for temporary arrangements... Civilization should be about diverse spaces people can build together but lately it's more like living in a planet size casino with a dumpster fire out back...
