That's always the answer. For some reason it's makes some people on here angry, but the only long term viable solution to expensive housing is to end NIMBYism and draconian zoning laws. Anything else is a short-term half-measure, including affordable housing, rent controls, etc.

- Geonode 4y agoSaying it twice doesn't make it less wrong. The priority is never packing as many people as possible into a given area. Its quality of life.
