Housing Policy Nirvana: 1. ban supply (1920s - today) 2. ban demand (today - future)

problem fixed!

Srsly, why can't we concentrate on policies that unlock supply. nothing else matters.



"Supply is a lie".

You know who calls for "more supply"? Real estate developers, speculators and investors.

This is how they distract from fixing the real issues in housing prices.

Adding more supply won't bring house prices down, it will just give housing stock for investors to buy.


Why do you think this? Is housing immune from Econ 101 supply and demand?
