Owning houses is a ridiculously profitable opportunity. Ridiculously profitable opportunities don’t get left lying around. That’s rather the point of capitalism. What “you” did is oppose higher-density construction, which means the homes that exist today are the homes everyone in the future has to compete for, if they want to live near population centers. NIMBYism makes the profit that attracts the sharks.
