I'd imagine that anyone with a pension - or just money in a bank account even - is invested in property.


That's a good point. However, it doesn't make an unethical thing more or less ethical to do it directly. In this instance, it raises the question of whether you can avoid doing it indirectly. Which you can.

wish I had a second home


Well, who wouldn't like one? But it's rather like the way we'd all like many big shiny opulent things; there simply isn't enough of them to go around, and so if you find yourself in the tiny fraction of a the one percent of humanity with a certain kind of wealth, as second home owners do, then you have to ask yourself some pretty tough moral questions about the nature of wealth. Simply liking it and knowing that most poorer people would hoard it if they were in your shoes doesn't cut it.
