All of the charts describing how much is being built in this piece date back to, at most, the 1980s, while the most criticized regulatory laws date back to the seventies and late sixties (NEPA was enacted in 1969, CEQA in 1970). It seems like if you're going to argue that those laws haven't negatively impacted construction capacity, you should probably compare construction before and after they were enacted into law, yeah?
- jvanderbot 2y agoI see 11 charts that predate 1980. Here's a housing chart that goes back to 1900 https://www.statista.com/statistics/1041889/construction-year-homes-usa/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/1041889/construction-yea... Hard to say, but it looks like linear growth to me. Here's "housing starts" which looks to me to be mostly flat from 1960 to 2020, with some cycles up and down.
