      housing (along with health care) is perhaps the most dramatic example of how our society is structured against any kind of dynamism and change for the benefit of incumbent owners of property and capitalhttps://twitter.com/mtsw/status/1258423612282818561 …

      If you want to know why housing in California is so expensive: it took 3 additional years of acrimonious and expensive litigation to get this project approved after *the legislature passed a law specifically designed to get projects like this approved* https://twitter.com/dillonliam/status/1258414916211335169 …

      It's an unfortunate thing that the useful concept of the rentier class has lost currency.

          It seems this is another consequence that the tendency in American discourse to vilify "business" or "corporations", particularly if they're "big" rather than (the supposedly more scary commie sounding) "capitalists". The developer-as-the-villain trope is very harmful here!

          Exactly. That's what the 1% has been trying to lock in. Create permanent gigantic guaranteed revenue streams with zero obligation to personally do any actual work.

          Definitely needs to be reintroduced as a concept. Some local lefty yimbys using the term were accused by local lefty anti-devs of "making up words". 🤦
