California has a ‘too many people problem’. Housing is less critical than transportation, infrastructure, fire safety, jobs for all demographic groups (as opposed to tech jobs for well born young white men), and so on. Building housing is like giving candy to calm a child’s tantrum.
- mabbo 7y agoAll prices are determined by supply and demand. You're complaining that demand is too high as a reason to not increase supply.
- futureastronaut 7y agoSince you're race baiting, I'd like to point out that there are plenty of us white guys out here who are not from privileged backgrounds and who have worked very hard to get to where they are. Please stop with the prejudice, for all people.

Look at San Francisco and the displacement that’s occurred. To pretend it’s orthogonal to race or age or parental ses is simply wrong. Yes, you and many others may be somewhat exceptional, somewhat. I’m referring to aggregate statistics, not exceptional cases.
