I’m aware of what has actually happened & continues to happen that has kept us from building enough homes.

“Understanding capitalist incentives” for a lot of people on this website like yourself seems to be a hindrance to understanding the housing crisis.

No, you are not. Because you are a yimby and yimbys do not have a coherent worldview.

“If we increase the supply of this good until there’s enough to meet the demand, then people with more money won’t be able to bid up the cost of this no longer rare commodity” is pretty fucking coherent actually.

Lots of empirical evidence backing it up too. It’s not just a worldview—it’s a fact!

Except this isn't your position. You do not represent an increase in supply. You represent letting the capitalists do as they wish and they DON'T WANT HOUSING.

“When housing supplies aren’t enough to meet demand, people with more money get the best housing and people with less money get the lower quality housing—or none at all”

Show me where that fails to cohere.

Show me a single city built by Yimby policies. Leftists have built entire cities. You struggle to build McDonalds.

"Leftists." So, like, roughly half of humanity, according to a 110-year-old metaphor. Versus "the YIMBY movement," a much more specific category that's only existed since the 2010s. That's not just comparing apples and oranges, that's comparing kumquats to ostriches. Yeah, your question is nonsense.

You act like white liberals who invade other people's homes and want to build garbage are new.

LOL at this real yimbism has never been tried nonsense. Yimbies are older than America. Every single imperialist is a Yimbies.
