Is it communism to not allow people to buy up all the water supplies and sell it back to you at an extortionate rate?
The truth about the housing market is that it's not a free market anyway it's controlled by special interests, bad laws, zoning, local nimbys and councils the list goes on.
Shelter is a necessity but lots of people think they’re entitled to live wherever they want at a price they can afford. They go to SF or NY and complain about rents when there is a whole country they can live in.
I don’t think communities have to allow higher density and the lower quality of life that comes with it. Desirable places are going to be expensive and that’s okay.
Personally I think if we have better rail, people can live in a wider range of places but still access jobs. You see this in Europe, and it lets smaller communities keep their way of life.
