Redfin chief economist Daryl Fairweather: "It seems like the only way to kind of get your foot in the door to the housing market is to have some help"

    You can just say your parents gave you an entire apartment building when you turned 18.

    I moved out and went no contact with my parents on my 17th birthday… but I would love to be able to give my kids the kind of help my parents didn’t give me.

    The idea is that Karen doesn’t get veto power over construction and we have enough housing for all.

    That’s a very good idea, it’s what I’ve been harping about in my other comments. You don’t fix this issue by demonizing people for buying houses, you identify the reason there aren’t enough houses in the first place and go after that.

    San Francisco allowing property owners (whose houses have skyrocketed in value) to block any kind of dense housing being built is the reason SF is so utterly fucked.
