This is a real issue in my community (as is the case of pretty much every community). All the older homeowners and younger/middle aged middle class yuppies love to talk about how they care for the housing crisis for us poorer youth, but then anytime a plan to address it comes up it's all "muh property values, muh investment". It should be obvious to anyone that for the price to go down for buyers, the sellers must sell for less but they all want to sell absurdly high and then buy another home for low.
Man I'd be happy if I bought a house and it basically matched inflation. All I want is a workshop and a place to put my money that won't leave me destitute.
I dunno, I want a medium sized patch of dust in a non incorporated county. I wanna go full solar punk and bury a little pyramidnof aircrete and make a little cozy hobbit cave with flowers keeping it cool.
