I think our housing markets biggest problem is twofold outdated zoning laws that only allow for single-family homes to be built and carcentric infrastructure that requires huge roads and parking spaces that require enormous amounts of public funds to maintain.

I think our housing Market's biggest problem is that fucking rent is $2,000 a month... I don't give a fuck about car Centric infrastructure or single family homes.. I can't pay $2,000 a month for rent. that's the housing markets problem.

The reasons I listed I believe are a big reason that it is so expensive. You can't find a solution without first correctly identifying the problem.

God I wish I could find just $2k a month rent. That's what I'm being forced to give up. Everything I'm seeing is 50-100% more.
