"It seems like job location, compensation, average cost of living, and commute would play a fairly large role." Are you saying these don't involve preferences?

"It seems like job location, compensation, average cost of living, and commute would play a fairly large role."
Are you saying these don't involve preferences?
And a web search will bring up tons of housing preference sources coming various aspects.

- soulofmischief 1y agoSure, you could argue that some people prefer to not live a destitute life, and that influences the high price of housing. But that is reductive, ignoring a host of other factors, which again, you might be able to boil down to preference (wealthy capitalists prefer to make more money) but again, it's reductive and offers a somewhat shallow perspective and not much to act on.
- giantg2 1y agoYou would at least be able to act on the true cause rather than chase short term changes that may not even work or won't scale. If it's indicative of a distribution problem, then we should be investigating distribution solutions. If you can't see this connection, then I posit that you might have the shallow perspective.
