The graphs are from FRED - that’s where you go to find any kind of data It’s a service of the St Louis Fed. Check out the price of corn over the decade…. I wasn’t radicalized by CA YIMBY - I spent some time in Valencia Spain - came home and gave away my car. Working for safe streets and density
And now you want to blame people with houses because you chose to give away your car and work as an advocate? Sounds like a positive life choice but it comes with limitations that you have to weigh out while letting others live as they choose
I think that we need to allow more density - so ppl in houses might get renters for neighbors. They are very organized against building housing. I think their fears are misplaced
I think making better use of land for new development is the answer. If you plunk a 4 plex next to a home that someone worked their ass off to pay for, it’s going to generate friction
I don’t think density is the answer. Everyone should have right to a little green patch, a glimpse of the sky and a tree here and there
I feel you, and full disclosure I’m a homeowner… but I don’t think it works for big cities ! You just end up with insane traffic and car dependency.
I’m not sure there ever will be an answer. California is the example of everything you shouldn’t do.
