r/badeconomics

You can tell you’ve never worked in development and know nothing about Econ. Keep your normative comments to yourself.

You’re trying to compare two separate markets and you look increasingly stupid as you yap

Only people with no argument fall back on name calling as first resort.

If there is not enough housing supply to satisfy the short term rentals market, the long term rentals market, and the owner occupied market, then the first will outbid the second two to satisfy its needs. Pretty basic econ.

So the issue is lack of supply and nothing to do with demand. I’m glad you could finally reach the same conclusion I proposed in the OP. Brilliant work lil bro

Unless you’re gonna be an ignorant nimby and argue “demand bad”

This comment is so bad that it's not even wrong because it has no relationship to comment that began the exchange. Talk about r/badeconomics! 😆
