- JohnMakin 2y agoLandowners get extremely hostile to the type of housing required to alleviate this problem and usually dies on the vine in any city council
- kelseyfrog 2y agoI'm increasingly an advocate for removing public comment on planning meetings. Those who show up are too invested and those far away are too underinvested. It leads to warped city planning decisions.

- kelseyfrog 2y agoI'm a bit confused because I believe we can have transparency without community input. Compelling the system to speak is orthogonal to letting the community speak.
- georgeplusplus 2y agoDefine easier. With whose capital would you like to build more houses with? The people coming over the border are doing so to escape poverty and harsh conditions from their respective country. I don’t think telling them to go buy a new house is gonna work at current US prices, and if you want the government to provide these new houses, then you really need to consider what the effect would be on inflation housing 9 million people at the current housing market would be.
