>>13884145but theres no economic pickle, GDP is much bigger than in 1990. Oh you cant buy a house right, but thats because the government pretty much closes off almost all land to development. See 150 years ago you could just buy and sell any land and do whatever you want with it, like open a chemical plant next to a nursery. Nobody did that but it was legally allowed. Today land has zoning for uses, and then you need permits from the local government, environmental studies from the feds with their approvals, then studies from urban planners to check the impact on road use and electricity and water use, they ask you to make investments to compensate for the added demand, if they even approve of the construction, then comes the community vote where you want to convince local residents to approve the construction, they almost never want to because local residents love road construction but hate residential construction (NIMBY). Bottom line, the population grows faster than the stock of housing so the problems will only get worse. Also the amount of required permits grows with time as well.
You cannot solve this with more investment or jobs or fiscal whatever, you need the government to hand over the permits. They wont tho, you will live in the pod.
