Increased housing supply will solve the problem of expensive housing.
But increasing supply in cities could be difficult (all the challenges that come with increased population density).
Building out was historically an issue due to commute time to city centers but we have an opportunity here with the new work from home environment.
We need more micro towns, that geographically don’t have to be near a major metro (2+ hours out), and that can sustain a decent economy based on the WFH population. In turn new business will open (grabbing lunch locally versus near the old office).

- josh_today 5y agoIf you can work from home, why not. Having lived in a city before and now in a suburb, I miss the energy of the city but the suburban quality of life outweighs the urban energy.
