    Where’s all this housing being built as a result of sky-high rents? If they are being built, they’re being snatched up immediately by “investor” parasites.

      New construction is happening. Just not as fast as we need it. And the cost of materials isn’t helping.

      What are you referring to? I don’t see all this new housing being built. I only know about three active sites in my city. I also know that our local zoning board has been rejecting applications because of neighborhood character.

      I would run to serve but it’s an appointed position. Which yeah not great.

        Sounds like you already know what one of the biggest issues is.

        It’s so bad in California that the state legislature has been passing laws directly addressing city zoning boards that won’t approve housing.
