The solution to the housing crisis is: - Improved public transportation (bring more homes in commuting distance and you increase supply, which decreases cost)

The solution to the housing crisis is:
- Improved public transportation (bring more homes in commuting distance and you increase supply, which decreases cost)
- Better building codes so we can build up. The NIMBY landlords who insist on height caps are artificially decreasing housing supply so they make more money.
Let's not strawman tech jobs in place of poor public policy. Creative destruction built the modern economy and cities need to plan for growth.
- pteredactyl 8y agoThank you! I'd also like to add to NIMBY designation (beyond landlords): - Those who bought a SFH/condo for exorbitant prices who don't want more supply to keep their investment afloat - Those who block all housing that does not meet their demands for affordable-ness. Oftentimes, anything not 100% affordable is unacceptable to them.
