The government can both subsidize development with low construction loan rates and disincentivize owners from flipping homes for quick profits. There are places where capital gains rates on home sales are onerous if sold before ten years. B

I think we'll see these types of films going the way of books and recorded music. We'll have an explosion of films released to hyper-niche audiences (at best). The middle of the market goes away. 10-20 traditional films still get
