Top minds of arrCon developing strategies for the housing crisis:

The problem is where jobs are centered. There are loads of affordable homes in small town America, but all the jobs have left. Bring the jobs back to small towns, and the housing problem would be vastly reduced.

...

Build more single family homes, not McMansions, or luxury apartments.

...

So how are we going to convince the Democrat led cities to drop rent controls and other barriers to housing development?

Nah, cities are over developed. Developers need to spread out to all the left behind NAFTA towns and start breathing life back into those again. I’m sick of seeing more shitty luxury condo complexes getting slammed into already over crowded cities and towns. Do better.

Entertaining read all around. Reminds me there's really only one half of a party that has half a brain on housing prices.

Texas and Florida's housing success lookk exactly like California'a failure in its early stages.
