Why is housing so expensive? Because the government constrains supply. Simple as that. Top 3 policy issue in the U.S. has a straightforward libertarian solution.

Yes. Regulations preventing building. Causing lack of building. Causing econ 101 result: low supply, high demand, high prices. Places that aren't stupid (Texas) don't have this problem. Everywhere else does. Rent control exacerbates further in the stupidest of polities.

Its funny how some people think TX doesnt have homelessness, housing instability, substandard housing, unaffordable housing relative to wages or exclusionary zoning. What it does have is lots of cheap, unattractive land & cheap labor relative to coastal states.

Stop socialism. Start building! 🦾 The challenge is - the socialists know this destroys their pitch - and they (and their useful idiots) are the ones preventing building 😭
