[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Y’all built those needed homes yet or are you still just whining on this blog?[/quote] This forum is mostly NIMBYs who don't understand supply and demand. :D They think the 500+ people moving here every month will just magically find a new place to live.[/quote] There you go again blaming the NIMBYs while ignoring that a lot more units could be built but aren't. GGW is mostly very gullible people who don't understand business. They think that if government allows more construction, then more construction will automatically happen because developers care more about increasing supply than they care about profits. As market urbanism has come to play a bigger role in planning, housing shortages have gotten worse. Could that be because trickle down economics doesn't work?[/quote] Yup, because there is a cabal of developers looking to mess everyone over. Yup. Are they freemasons? Illuminati? Lol. Anyone is free to become a "developer". If there is demand for housing (there is) and no constraints on the market with crazy regs (there are) then more things will be built. Market urbanism has caused the price increases? hahahahahaha. Yeah, tell that to San Francisco. How is all that rent control working out for them? Or, any city. No city actually follows market urbanism, kid. The fact that you said that proves you know nothing.[/quote]
