re: Can cities ever actually fix their housing shortage?

The term “housing shortage” is stupid. There is plenty enough housing. And there is plenty enough “good housing.” They determine “housing shortage” based on an arbitrary term “affordable housing.”
The big problem is that people don’t live within their means. 2 people who make a combined $75k a year shouldn’t be buying houses. They should live in apartments or a rental. It is what it is.
And now you have 25 year olds that think a starter should be minimum 2500 square feet. It’s ridiculous.

Why are the uninformed typically the loudest and most opinionated?

I bought my house in 2005. Right now, comparable homes in my area are renting for more than what my mortgage is.

The real problem is that people all want to live in the perfect place in the perfect city. I moved outside of Baton Rouge because the houses were cheaper than in town. it is less ideal. I have to commute every day, but I also am not near any of the bullshite.
