I personally expect increasingly desperate attempts by state and city governments to do literally anything except actually allow enough housing to be built. I don't know where that will lead, but favelas and multigenerational inherites rent contol contracts seem likely.

- crooked-v 4y agoPeople move to where there are jobs. Ohio has about 5.4 million jobs currently (going by the Current Employment Statistics survey) and a population of about 11.8 million, and while there's obviously some wiggle room there because jobs aren't a zero-sum game, "get everyone to move to Ohio" ultimately isn't a very helpful plan.
