          It’s a too LITTLE regulation problem: most cities have regulations about what you can build where and x amount of housing being affordable.

          They don’t tell you, but the regulations against replacing affordable housing with expensive condos are some of the ones the people behind YIMBY are most eager to get rid of.

      I’m not saying slums… but look around the United States and see what states are monumentally cheaper to build in. Hint. It’s not blue states.

      And I say that as a progressive in minnesota.

        Blue states are more desirable to live in, thusly increasing demand. Though you’d need an education to understand economics 99, and it seems your state didn’t provide.

          Yes. That’s why record number of people are moving to Idaho/Montana and Texas… because they are so undesirable.

            Because they’re cheaper, dumbass. I’m saying this as someone who has moved to one of those states. It’s not because retards run the state.

              Given your online demeanor I feel like you probably fit in well, and I’m guessing the locals love you.

              Enjoy being part of the problem but not realizing it.

                Right, me telling you why people I actually know did the thing you claim to know their motives for makes me part of the problem…

                Your intelligence leaves a lot to be desired.
