what’s wrong with cutting zoning regulations and whacko-green-scam laws at the federal level?
“what’s wrong with cutting zoning regulations”
Trashing zoning means the primarily people that will make money from housing are pump & dump builders.
Almost homeowners will gradually lose money if housing prices fall. Consider the 2008 housing collapse. One house on my street was gutted by the underwater mortgagor.
Zoning made possible the low-downpayment mortgage as zoning drastically cut the risk that property prices in an area would fall.
Renters can simply move to optimize their income to rent spread.
I lived in New York, Maryland, Virginia and Florida.
London kept most of its high-quality 19th Century housing, NYC didn’t.
I’m good with cutting zoning regulations, but that should be a local issue. And as to environmental laws, sure, some may be bad but many are good.
Most to the point, if we don’t expel 10s of millions of illegals we won’t restore the wage strength of our working class. Only mass deportations handle both housing costs and wage levels.
