Key insight of liberal economics is that co-ordination at scale is extremely difficult - neither workers nor capitalists are capable of operating "as a class" to the degree Marxoids think they're supposed to be able to do

“You can build housing even in a dense environment. Tokyo is surprisingly cheap, but you have to allow it. we've reached a situation where for somewhat different reasons, zoning land use restrictions basically prevent America from building remotely enough housing, this is becoming a big problem.”

Things that make cheaper housing
- smaller square footage
- More efficient land use (no parking, no setbacks, ect)
A lot of people do not like these things, so they want them to be illegal to make.
As a result, we now have a market where cheaper housing products are illegal to make.

This user is describing a transit oriented development project with 50% deed restricted affordable housing units.
You over simplify, and seem to think full time workers getting fleeced by corporations are less worthy of quality living conditions. You also completely ignore culture, like it has zero signifigance. Developer greed can go straight to 🔥.

"no you cannot build the high property tax revenue buildings that are great for funding infastructure, we do not have the infastructure needed for those high property tax revenue buildings that are great for funding infastructure!"
Speaker #111: NIMBY opposed due to our ancestral memory of fire. The wood-framed buildings are vulnerable (perhaps that’s why we should build newer, fire safe buildings?). We need an entirely new fire system before we can rezone. I love infrastructure NIMBYs

My roman empire is that the biggest barrier to housing today is the public understanding of what a speculator is and the role they play in land use and real estate.
the general public rarely understands what a speculator is, much less understands how our laws around land use are made for them.

It is one of the most pro-LGBT things you could do is to acknowledge that trans people are capable of being awful and that it has nothing to do with them being trans, and everything to do with the fact that this person choose to be awful on their own accord.

My stance on rent control: It's not inherently bad, it's just not helpful in the medium and long term and the people that usually are big on rent control are also not big on any of the actual solutions to the housing crisis.

Left NIMBYs: YIMBYs ignore the class struggle in housing
blue collar guy: hey I just bought land, I can't live on it unless i build a 2000sqft single family home, also I need to pay 50 grand in development fees on top of it

Blackstone themselves literally said in their SEC filings (which they will go to jail if they lie in) that the reason they are buying homes is because of a shortage caused by local land use regulations.

You know how whenever a plane crashes, it always makes the news because its so rare? But car crashes rarely make the news because they happen so often?
The fact that "new housing is being built" always makes the news really affirms that we're in a building crisis.

housing cannot be both affordable and a premier speculative asset
“The housing crisis isn’t just a result of greedy landlords and investors. It’s an inevitable result of social policies that encourage people to treat their houses as in investment. Because once a homeowner internalizes the idea that their financial future depends on housing prices going up […]

At this point, I think I would be okay with 2 options.
Individual land use control, where there's no zoning or centralized land use planning with the exception of essential, objective things (sewage, utilities, drainage, ect)

I think one thing that people don't understand is that local land use politics and federal/state politics are really two separate ball games.
You can be a raging, pro-mamdani leftist that wants all the environmental regulations on corporations and also want land deregulated at a local level.

Instead we do what actually WORKS like
*checks notes*
"It rezoned underused industrial or commercial land near transit hubs into high-density residential neighborhoods"
