If I make a house that sells for a billion dollars, someone with a 900 million dollar house will buy it, and their 900 million dollar home will be bought by someone in an 875 million dollar home, ND that continues all the way down.
No amount of emotional appeal (not an insult to you/your argument) beats supply and demand. I’ll take new housing anywhere and anyway I can get it. I’m also for subsidizing weird ways of getting housing like converting office space, though that has potential boondoggle written all over it.
Problem with ending lobbying outright is it is guaranteed as a right in the constitution. I’m all about lobbying reform however, and a general leveling of he playing field. Would love to see more citizen-lobbies, too, and I think it’s arguably in the best interests of government to make that easier to do.
And I agree! Nice conversation
I absolutely know what I’m talking about, and it isn’t “trickle down” b cause it doesn’t involve any additional mechanics other than an increase in supply in a market defined by a massive shortage in supply.
Also rent seeking doesn’t mean what you think it means.
