Yeah. I dont have facts, just feelings. When i read these articles, i get the same feeling I get talking to those people in yhe mall who stop you trying to sell you hand cleaner, ya know Yes, washing your hands is good Yes, some soaps are better than others But I wasnt looking to buy soap, and I really dont want to spend $20 on 8oz. I think I also have been struggling with how we in the US have lost a lot of community spaces in the last 50 or so years Arcades are gone, malls are dying, parks have few people in them, government buildings are fortresses, small town shops were killed by wallmart, restaurants are massive chains selling microwave meals, main streets are four lanes of traffic… I long for interesting neighborhoods with shops and restaurants I can walk to. But even after reading these articles I am still unconvinced deregulating apartments is the answer. Maybe I just fear deregulation since I keep hearing how the deregulation of the 80s and of the housing market was not a good thing
