Stupid title, land use policies make everything that uses land expensive. I can assure you childcare being expensive is not bottlenecked by land, but by caretaker's wage levels driven by the fact that they need to rent in the same expensive location. It's equally expensive to hire someone into your home without the need of any extra land, but much less expensive if they live in.

- hollywood_court 3y agoLearning about the wages paid at my son’s daycare was the main motivation for my wife and I to keep him at home for the 18 months before he was old enough for pre-k. The teachers at his daycare were paid about 30% of the living wage required to live in our town. They were all driving from at least an hour away for the opportunity to earn a non living wage. There is no way I could reasonably expect any of them to be concerned with my child’s well being when they could even afford their own lives.
