    A majority of people should always be renters, and homes should lose value over time if not rehabbed. Until both of those boxes are checked, housing prices will continue to rise.

      Why should a majority of people be renters?

      Prices are high because of hoarding by land barons and corps while we simply don’t build enough in my opinion.

        If not renters, condo (or something like it) owners. We need to build for density and disincentivize house ownership, because demand exceeds supply by such margins that we are unlikely to resolve it any time in the next generation of we only build houses - plus we are contributing to sprawl and the associated externalities.

        LA is a warning, not an ideal.
