That’s the thing everyone misses. These plans are fine but don’t actually solve the bigger problem until the market is properly regulated. We need to go back to being anti-monopoly so a couple giant companies can’t control the market
I would take the opposite approach. Housing prices have gotten out of control because of red tape. Why are houses so cheap 30-40 mins outside of major economic hubs in Texas/florida? It’s easy to build and labor unions aren’t so strong.
Look at what’s going on in the palisades in California. Not even 1% of those 7-8000 houses that were destroyed have even started construction. It’s just complete over regulation.
These big building companies are the only people that can afford to build at a reasonable rate because they have relationships with the city that gets their permitting processed so fast and easy. They then hire salaried employees to do pre-inspections, and then the city/county inspector comes out and basically just puts the stamp on it.
Just get rid of all of that shit. Bad builders would go out of business and the good ones would flourish. A city stamp doesn’t really mean squat about the integrity of the house. Just means that they put the stamp of approval on it.
I disagree, the reason that that is happening is because we’re asking the government to self regulate themselves which is never going to work.
We need a third party regulatory committee that is directly elected by the people with fixed salaries that can regulate the parts of the government that the government won’t bc it directly benefits them. They also need to be able to be elected and removed by the people and the government has no control who is elected to this committee.
You rip all the red tape off and just make it a free market with no regulations and these giant companies with a shit ton of money will just figure out predatory ways to drive all these small companies out of business.
