Right, we should build enough housing that the market takes care of keeping housing cheap.
- sokoloff 5y agoWho is the “we” in that sentence that should allocate their money to something with a weak or non-existent promise of seeing a return on that money?
- shockeychap 5y agoThe "we" is everyone who wants to build dense, multi-unit housing based on their own assessments of how it will perform, but can't because of single-family zoning laws. Expensive housing in many areas is a result of laws that keep would-be developers from increasing the supply, fueled by the toxic NIMBY mindset.
