The government will incentivize the kind of homebuilding that profits developers most (which currently seems to be townhomes in the 300k range and mcmansions in the 650k+ range in the suburban US).
Developers are prolific political donors. Developers and unionized public sector workers split the pie, and your average citizen has little to no say in local politics.

- phpisthebest 4y agoPublic Sector Unions are very powerful, Public Sector Workers have zero power, either in their union or in the government Never confuse being a Union Worker, and thinking the union gives a crap about you the worker
- anonymouskimmer 4y agoIt depends on the public sector union. Not all of them are gargantuan enough to throw clout about. And some of them are member run, not organizationally run. I'm on a local board of mine.
- ethanbond 4y agoDevelopers aren’t the problem. Landlords and existing homeowners who are protecting the value of their actual land (not homes) are the issue. And a very, very powerful political body.
