[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Blame the Builders Lobby/Association in your town.

They have run out of land to develop.[/quote]

BS.  The huge quantities of MoCo land that is underdeveloped.  Turn the current commercial zoned areas into condos, apartments, etc.   Developers would rather lobby to [b]destroy SFH neighborhoods[/b] than develop the commercial properties.  The land along the Pike is underutilized.  It will never be office or retail space.  Turn it into residential.  The Pike has the infrastructure and Metro lines already there.   [/quote]

Listen to yourself. DESTROY SFH NEIGHBORHOODS!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 By allowing landowners to build duplexes.[/quote]

Duplexes that will get turned into rentals.  Ruin home ownership for the middle class and replace with rentals.  Yay, we can all lay rent for the rest of our lives while building zero wealth.  This is idiotic policy hidden under the guise of ‘improving affordable housing!’.   It is nothing more than a land grab and stealing of wealth from the middle class. [/quote]

Well, I guess you think renters are scary. [/quote]

Renting sucks.  Owning a home is the single biggest way the middle class is able to build wealth.  But I bet you’re too financially stupid to understand this basic concept and are perfectly fine with ruining the last remaining pillar for the middle class.   Yay, we will have your stupid socialist utopia when we are an entire nation of very mediocre renters for life beholden to corporations and investing group landlords who control all of the land and who can raise rents on a whim. [/quote]

Hint: the only "socialism" here is the cartel of SFH owners that curtail development to protect their own little honey pot.

Rents only go up as far as demand can, it's not hard to understand. There is a reason why NZ has had dropping rents. They build a ton of housing! But that would diminish the free wealth you SFH people have taken from renters.

You seriously need to take Econ 101.[/quote]
