If you are going to adopt a policy of stagnation in housing availability, you need to adopt a policy of stagnation across the board. You can't have incentives that encourage businesses to locate in your area and at the same time refuse to allow additional housing for the jobs that the business creates. You should prefer to send to universities out of state where they are more likely to find jobs out of state rather than expanding your local higher education options. You should help with relocation expenses for young people who don't get into college, since you don't have enough jobs for them locally. And you should hope that the current industries you have remain relevant, because it is hard to adapt and diversify without allowing growth.
