Is it really wealthy liberals or just Californians? Seattle is building like crazy to keep up with demand, as are many other Democrat run cities.


Seattle is doing a much better job than SF, but they're also still doing a terrible job. Most of the residential land is still zoned for super low density housing, even though it's a major city. It's absurd, but people accept it because it's one of those American absurdities, like people dying because they couldn't afford health coverage.

Single family home-only zoning is economically segregationist, and should not exist. It's fine if people want to own a single family home themselves, but wrong to keep the poor and working class out of their neighborhood by making that type of home mandatory.


Texas is growing like crazy, and housing is super affordable.


No zoning and what do you know, supply appeareth.
