I don't think the term 'naturally' is apt here. It implies that people are actually making a logical choice.
In the same way that a house is often the majority of the network of Americans, a job is often the majority of the income. This fact does not cause most of them to advocate for enforcing immigration laws, even though this choice reduces payrates for all Americans.
- rory 6y agoImmigration thing aside (I don't think personal-income-maximizing necessarily equals logical), I feel like this point is often missed. Most people who lobby for strict zoning don't do it with the intention of restricting supply to increase the value of their home. They usually do it for much simpler, more human, and often kind of stupid reasons (traffic, construction noise, fear of new and different people in their neighborhood, etc).
