NAR agents in the City hall that will do everything in their power to make damn sure any new houses built will have a minimum starting price to protect the existing RE values.
You don't understand anything about homelessness. It's about mental illness, drug addiction, and alcoholism, NOT housing supply.
Build more housing!
The more housing gets built, the lower prices will be.
Why build more, when there is 17 million sitting empty now?

Because those houses are not where the jobs are.
We need more houses where the jobs are.

MrMagic saysAlso, jobs can move to where the cheaper housing is.
hahahaah...no, they can't. Jobs are where the employers are...and they are not in Podonk, PodonkState.
So you’re saying the solution to the housing shortage is to build more housing? Hmmmmm. Interesting idea.
Build more housing!
That's it. Increase density limits and overrule municipalities which try to block more housing. Buy or use eminent domain to take land, and physically build tiny houses, millions of them, in the areas where the jobs are, like the SF Bay Area. Sell them cheaply, or rent them out cheaply.
The more housing gets built, the lower prices will be. Unfortunately, most current owners do not want more housing. They want housing to remain scarce and expensive so that the resale price of their own house remains high.
OK
So when will they start building more land in those places?

So, the majority of the IT jobs in the Bay Area can't be done remotely, anywhere in the country that has a Internet connection?

How low the price for an apartment should go for the crazy junkies living on the street to be able to afford it? I mean you can beg or steal only so much and these drugs aren't gonna pay for itself, m-kay?

Didn't they say 20 years ago, almost everyone will be working from home or the beach? I don't see it

So why are they predominately in the Blue States...which constantly preach to Red America about how they don't do enough for such people with said problems despite said Blue States not doing jack shit about it themselves despite all those higher taxes they impose on their residents?
Strategist says
Blue states don't know how to fix these problems, just like they don't know how to fix crime, welfare, terrorism, dictators etc.
Blue states think if you are nice enough, these problems will get solved. The Red states know being tough is what solves the problems.
Great humor!
Supply just needs to meet demand.

We need more houses where the jobs are.
WTF. It was a serious solution

Ignore him like most sane people do. He’s the ONLY person I have on ignore. His posts actually make me lose IQ points, as they make no sense and are just meant to aggravate.
Cities are on the way out, decentralization is the future.
NuttBoxer saysCities are on the way out, decentralization is the future.
We've been hearing that ever since the Internet, more than 20 years.
And yet the exact opposite has happened! It is more important than ever to be in a city if you want to be well paid, and the population knows it damn well, which is why their movement to cities is accelerating.
Cities are on the way in, and they need more housing.
Much much more housing. And good public transit, so cars will not be needed.

Yeah most of SF is single or double-story houses, plenty of room to build on top, however the traffic/parking situation needs to be solved as well. But mostly the zoning laws are just there to protect house prices.
