Insane what I'm paying to rent a townhouse compared to what I'd have to pay for a mortgage. That drives up the cost of home ownership and prevents people from actually purchasing a home themselves.

Pretty sure a lot of areas are running out of space to do that.

Great. Let’s build more houses in the other areas that can support them and move jobs there

Why?

Because they borrow from the FED at lower interest rates, then...

Don't hate them. Hate the Fed and the Government for bailing them out.

You really want a housing shortage? A good way to do that is to disincentivize

So your answer to not having a free market is to make it less free with more

You want to restrict voluntary transactions. That’s less free.

No, I want the fed to allow the market to work, which will disincentivize

So you want to make it easier for borrowers by making debt more expensive.

No, I want to make it easier for little investors by keeping rates low.
