Too cynical. There exist homeowners who don't want the problem to get worse, because, like, we live in a society. Rampant homelessness and nosediving birth rates are not to my benefit. My friends and kids will need to be able to afford housing.
- Schiendelman 2y agoIt doesn't really matter if a few of the homeowners want things to be better. It's a tiny percentage of the homeowners who want prices to continue going up who push all of the policy effectively.

Obviously some exist that support basically every opinion imaginable. The vast majority of home owners want the "problem" to get worse, because it isn't really a "problem" for them - at least immediately and obviously.
- loeg 2y ago> The vast majority of home owners want the "problem" to get worse No; I am rejecting that claim.
- onlyrealcuzzo 2y agoWe can rely on voting evidence instead of claims.
- sooheon 2y agoEvidence: homeowners consistently and overwhelmingly vote for NIMBY policies in every jurisdiction around the world. Counterclaim: I reject.
