Every young person sentence online reads like this to me now:

Which is exactly why we should just go ahead and do it. One less excuse for the NIMBYs.
I know people on this website are likely to be more amenable to this than I am, but I want to stress that institutional investor purchases of single family homes are a microscopic share of the market and so you’re basically not gonna see material changes in home prices from this

A big reason car ownership has become so expensive: New technology that's pricey to fix.
"A simple fender bender at low speed might have only required a simple bumper cover in the past. Today, some cars carry radar, lidar, and sonic sensors in the same bumper cover, which drives up the cost."
