    It’s a national problem, but policies that affect housing are mostly local. So you need to override local control with state/federal policy, or convince a 50,000 municipalities to change their laws.

    And the few states that have passed reforms for zoning, etc. are getting sued to shit in court by the city/towns.

    This problem was 50 years in the making, it would take more than 50 years to fix.

      I totally agree this isn’t a easy fix and it will take decades to change but I feel that should be a challenge for the US to start making the change not a reason to keep the status quo.
