Yes, hate to say it but there is only one way to lower housing prices. Also I have limited sympathy for people who move to high COL areas and then are upset by housing prices.

Disagree. The work on self-driving cars would not be done if there were not a way to profit from it. If it isn’t expected to earn more than it costs, it wouldn’t be done. Now maybe it’s all being done because of expectations of a monopoly (
