I wish they had more influence, then they’d be able to build more and prices would go down.

I'm all for building more housing, as long as it comes with the necessary infrastructure - schools, roads, parking, public transportation, etc. Where I live, developers seem to get government approval to build in locations where they can rake in a lot of money at high prices without having to worry about such things.

(In fact, my local government is actually closing roads near new housing because "f#ck cars" is apparently a hip idea these days.)

Your own example seems to show that the culprit lies with local governance, not developers, wouldn’t you agree?

It's been hip since drivers started showing up and killing people. The less parking the better.

Let me guess. You already own a home?
