I didn't think we reached the point where people are arguing that things that make housing more valuable disincentivize building more homes - but here we are.
It is zoning restrictions, EIR, etc., that disincentivize housing.
- Msw242 5y agoProp 13 absolutely disincentivizes building housing. Other policies can also be bad. But grandma's house isn't being bulldozed to make way for a quadplex because she's insulated from the market. https://www.kqed.org/news/11700683/too-few-homes-is-proposition-13-to-blame-for-californias-housing-shortage https://www.kqed.org/news/11700683/too-few-homes-is-proposit... But if you own a home in California, you are incentivized to maintain prop 13. It's funny how hard it is for people to understand something when it cuts against their personal interests.
