Do you think we will ever have affordable housing again in our lifetime?
Considering how crazy expensive accommodations have become the last couple of years, concentrated in the hands of greedy corporations, landlords and how little politicians seem to care about this problem, do you think we will ever experience a real estate market crash that would bring those exorbitant prices back to Earth?
Not unless we reduce the amount of red tape necessary for new construction. A market with super high housing prices should naturally correct itself as those profit margins attract new investment, but we clamp down really hard on new construction via nimbyism and over precise zoning laws.
