Honest and simple question: Have they just tried to build more?
Who would benefit from people not building more? Who's pushing for regulations against building more supply?
- notaustinpowers 3y agoMainly current homeowners. A constrained supply almost guarantees that your home value will continue to go up, especially if you're in a lucrative area. So homeowners and well-connected people make sure that zoning laws and building regulations are very prohibitive to new construction housing.
