I am sure people are priced out of "desirable" places. I don't think this can be fixed by oversupplying homes in specific areas. You need to incentivize people to move into low dense areas.
- ch4s3 2y agoWhy would we want a public policy that spreads people out? There are great economies of scale in dense urban areas, not to mention climate and other environmental factors.
- Carrok 2y agoThe reason no one else lives there are the same reasons I don’t want to live there. Not everyone will be happy living in the middle of nowhere. I’d wager most wouldn’t.
- pompino 2y agoSure, but that is what public policy is about. Incentivizing citizens through a democratic process that alleviates resource constraints so we can plan for the future.
- madmask 2y agoExactly, move out of the city where conditions are better. With remote work or a couple of commutes a week should be feasible for many.
- francisofascii 2y agoI think people already are going to less desirable places. People priced out of higher income first tier cities are coming into 2nd tier cities, which then makes the 2nd tier places unaffordable for the current population.
