    Naive take… Rent seeker always maximizes profit.

    Yes that is their goal. But they are in competition with eachother, and when there aren’t any people willing to pay absurd prices that have and will come down.

    NYC resident pays taxes and consumes in NYC.

    Okay?

    Why are you advocating of transferring money out of the community? Why would anyone advocate for lower wages in their community?

    I am not a nationalist.

    labor economic and labour policy which should be set for the benefit of tax paying public.

    Benefit of locals, while not benefiting others.

    You know rent seeker don’t give two fucks about her lol

    Don’t know, don’t care.

        I agree this is not a free market, but there is still competition.

        My community could function on less tax money, less developed countries need it more.

          Must be nice to be part of the right community. The rest of the country has severely delepdated infrastructure and non existanant social services.

            That’s because of mismanagement not lack of money

              That is correct. Too many middle men in government procurement leeching.
