I don't want to hear about why we can't do bold things, or that my idea is bad, in absence of a better idea. The argument against drastic application of rent control on basically all new development seems to be just "actually we have to keep doing it the way that doesn't work"
The best way to lower prices and make things better for people who need housing is (i) let developers build lots of dense units near cities where they're wanted--and strict zoning laws prevent this; and (ii) make it easier for new developers to enter and compete

This has become an absurdly long thread and I will pause now, thank you for reading through. I hope at least that you get the impression we want the same outcome, and that at least people like me are thinking seriously about how to get there.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
