This is so correct! I wish we could sticky this post at the top of every housing discussion. Progress means things become more affordable and cheaper. For instance the price of lighting up a room has come down my many orders of magnitude. It used to cost a significant portion of one's earning to buy a candle and light up a room for an hour, now it costs mere pennies. I hope some day humanity can have that kind of progress in housing as well. The way to get there is to start opening up innovation. Start letting builders build it the way they want, and allow startups to create new ways to make buildings. We can deregulate certain parts of the towns/cities or start new ones. We need to open things up and reduce barriers to entry. That's why there was an explosion of innovation on the internet: no barriers to entry and no regulations to get in the way. Let's do the same for housing and see what progress we can make.
