Have the real estate crises already been forgotten?
To ensure that no castles in the air are built on assumptions about how much the house might be worth someday, or how much money might be earned, it was legally regulated that lending must be based on facts, not on statistical assumptions.
Precisely for that reason, the "fact" that a couple without children is looking for financing for a single-family house with two children's rooms should lead to exclusion. The same couple should be able to get financing for the equally expensive loft apartment without problems.
We can't change it anyway, and every industry is the way it is. But when I see that in truly safety-critical industries (aircraft construction / power plant construction) work is constantly done with probabilities and statistical (un)safety factors, I find the refusal of these in banking quite interesting. The banking crisis certainly did not come from the application of default probabilities, but from a too lax application of them, or from risk criteria that were too low.
If I build an airplane/house/power plant with a safety factor of 2 and one with 0.5, I also know that one will collapse/crash and the other will not. But the use of the factor is not to blame for the crash, but the value applied.
