You've never cared about anything enough to drive you to action? Curious.

But in-line with the study findings, you think people do less than they actually do.

As far as I'm concerned, the Kansas side might as well not exist! (There is no subtext, I really don't like Kansas)

Thank you for taking the time to respond! As per usual, language fails us because "vacant home" sure doesn't mean the same thing to everyone saying it.

Is NYC (taking your example) prone to low-density zoning? Just looking at induced scarcity vs geographic scarcity, there's a possibility that everyone that desires to live in NYC just can't. I'm no expert, obviously.

Say we did remove zoning restrictions and builders could go bananas, what is their incentive to build if they expect vacancy? No one wants to finance new builds if they won't fill. Developers want low vacancy as much as landlords do. It sounds like zoning changes would be best paired with subsidy programs for individual home buyers or something to allow individuals priority over corporations.

No kidding, will news outlets stop giving platforms to people famous for unrelated reasons?

spoilerNo, clicks are a perverse incentive.

Many people use jail and prison synonymously.

prison: a building where criminals are kept as a punishment

jail: a place where criminals are kept to punish them for their crimes

I keep seeing this sentiment that someone is making Trump run instead of his own narcissism making it impossible for him not to.

A red herring? Is there or is there not at least 1 housing unit per family that currently exists? My most recent understanding is we have enough quantity, just poor distribution.
