The most frustrating part of that is the absurd number of people who see the obvious problem of wildly expensive and tightly constrained housing supply, complain about it being impossible to buy a home, and then actively refuse to even allow for the possibility that cities may have been under-building for some time.
- nradov 3y agoIf those people bothered to actually vote instead of just complaining online then the problem would be less severe.
- rcpt 3y agoWhy do you think that the people posting about housing online don't vote?
- jerojero 3y agoWell you can only vote either Republican or Democrat, should you become a single issue voter? What if neither of the parties is really proposing strong housing regulation anyway. Like, who are people actually supposed to vote for that will solve this issue?

- nradov 3y agoThis mostly isn't a Republican versus Democrat issue. Most housing development decisions are made at the county and city level, and those races are usually either non-partisan, or effectively single party. You can just show up at a campaign event and ask the candidate for their positions on housing issues.
