yeah we have a tremendous housing shortage that’s built up over decades and will take decades of building to fix unless we switch to much higher unit density projects. Big cities in California and NYC are particularly bad about building housing. The South particularly Florida and Texas are just now starting to get increased housing costs due to an influx of high earners from high CoL states. They certainly build more but it’s a lot of SFH which leads to sprawl and a lot of inefficiency because they also have some bad regulations
That is the truth! Forget college….learn a trade.
Southerners typically don't want congestion. They don't want to live in inner-city population density. I hope we don't follow the European model of just building mega-apartments all over the place. One thing the U.S. has is space. Plenty of room for urban sprawl.
There's an opinion piece from the LA Times from March of 2023 that deals with the issue of housing shortages vs. Environmental regulations. I tried to post a link to the article, but couldn't figure out how to do it.
Environmental groups, existing homeowners too I suppose, were opposed to infill housing — new housing development in existing areas. But increased rents and mortgages have led to higher rates of homelessness.
And, developers were moving away from "intown" areas to fringe areas because of less restrictive regulations. Areas situated next to wilderness areas exacerbating climate change because workers would be making longer trips.
But housing advocates and environmentalists have started working together to support in-town development of multi-family housing. California is facing a shortage of 2.5 million units by 2030.
At least, that was the point of view from a year ago.
this is mostly correct. Environmental review laws are often used by existing property owners to block any new development. You most often see this to block new housing projects from homeowners but ironically oil and gas companies also use it to block solar and wind projects. It’s truly a bizarre regulatory system in desperate need of reform
that’s fine if people don’t want that but some do and developers should have the freedom to build for them
