If we are going for a reductivism, I'm going to take it all the way to pride, greed, and envy for the housing supply problem.
(I could throw in lust, but that's last century's problem since various forms of birth control have negated its influence on housing demand)

- readthenotes1 1y agoThat happens-- castillogrande in Cartagena Colombia used to be a bunch of family homes. Now it looks like Miami. China has tried it, but built a little much. A problem in doing it in other places is location and regulations (e.g., whole areas where high rises are outlawed, or required to have expensive shrubbery, or a certain percentage of units for low income)
