It's bad for all the people who want to live there but can't.

It's bad for all the people who want to live there but can't.
- AnimalMuppet 10y agoTrue, but why is that relevant? The economy doesn't owe everyone the right to live where they want. (I want to vacation a number of places where I can't; I cannot in honesty say that's a genuine problem.) To clarify, I'm not saying that it's just fine. I'm saying that your argument doesn't work without something more - either a reason why those people not being able to live there is a problem, or is morally wrong, or something.
- ktRolster 10y agoBecause people who want to live there, who can't afford a house, will try to get the rents to go down, so they can afford to live there. What people want is pretty much the only thing that matters when it comes to politics (although there are limitations based in what's possible and what's not).
