This is extremely bad policy that simply makes housing more expensive. The real solution to expensive housing is to build more -- a lot more -- by systematically suffocating the NIMBY stranglehold on local government power and allowing the market to build way, way more housing

@ramit Investigate / punish slow turnarounds and excessive fees out of any municipal planning department. The fees more than cover outsourcing the work if it can’t be done internally
@ramit It feels like a lot of what gets produced either has the term luxury community and/or HOA attached to it. I would love to see more small starter homes built.
@ramit There is a lot of land in the US that does not require overcoming local objections to build.
@ramit Stop taking debt. False spending power artificially increases the price of an asset, whether that be a house or anything else.
