A mix of zoning restrictions and poor housing management have led to some crazy prices.

Glad to see them start to fall.

This does seem to be anothwr situation where the market is HIGHLY regulated and government controlled and yet if you mention the idea of government solutions to housing costs people start screaming "FrEe MaRkEt"

As if people can just build any sort of safe housing they want without loads of government restrictions.

This was my argument with healthcare, they want a a "free market" on pricing, but everything else has to be government controlled, where you can buy, who can supply, who can you buy from, licensed etc.

If it's illegal to buy from say Canada, its retarded to claim free market to price meds as you wish.

Most people want single family homes in quiet safe neighborhoods with only SFH neighbors... So that's the zoning you are going to see dominate and that takes up a lot of space. So you are space limited.

And then it costs a lot to make and outfit a nice house.

Having an entire generation that became whiny activists rather than carpenters and electricians does not help.
