We made it illegal to build housing, so we don't have enough housing. We could fix our housing crisis by re-legalizing housing _without_ fixing all of the (very real) problems you describe. You are simply engaging in whataboutism which will _not_ solve our housing crisis.
- beej71 4y agoI live in one of the most overpriced places in the US and they're building like mad, and just annexed a massive parcel into the city to build residential. They wanted to put up an apartment block, as well, but NIMBYs have held it up. I think the issue is more complex than housing regulations (which also certainly play a role).
