The fact that the only way to meaningfully lower housing costs requires letting capitalists make a lot of money building expensive new homes kind of breaks a lot of people’s brains.

Markets sometimes serve working people's interests.

If you think developers are making too much money building homes, you should raise taxes on their incomes instead of imposing de facto taxes on new development.

Tax the bad thing. Excessive wealth is bad. More homes for more folks and families is good.
