MODERATORS
Could it be that the mounting evidence is demonstrating that the commodification of housing and its increasing use as an investment vehicle is driving the housing crisis?
Nah, must be those damn immigants and red tape thats not letting us build on protected environments!
By protected environments, do you mean zoning that only allows single family homes? Because that is part of the problem.
Edit: and two staircase rules, and parking minimums, and floor area ratios, and other "red tape"
Higher density homes? No, no, no, we want to build our single family mini-mansions on wetlands and nature conserves. Get out of here with your logic and sensibility.
