It's politics that prevents the construction of cheap housing, not capitalism.
- immibis 1y agoCapitalism is a subset of politics
- pantalaimon 1y agoBut capitalism doesn't have an interest in prohibiting housing being built in certain areas or limiting density to a fraction of what was possible 130 years ago.
- worldsayshi 1y agoIt doesn't? People owning housing has an interest in keeping housing supply low to make the value of their assets go up.
- worldsayshi 1y agoDon't you think that a lot of that politics stems from politicians wanting the value of houses in places where they (or their friends) live to go up rather than down though?
