The housing crisis. Build more houses, increase supply, lower prices. It's simple on the surface, but unfortunately, NIMBYism, political interests, status quo, antiquated zoning/permitting, etc etc makes this far too difficult.

This is great. One huge nitpick with sports stats and standing sites these days (even Google’s which are pretty clean) is the lack of info density. I just want tables with little padding showing me all the info I want without page refreshes
