    You could start by practicing what you preach and actually substantiating any of these claims.

    do you people not understand that your attitudes play right into the hands of the private equity oligarchs? Y’all are literally defending authoritarian laws that distort the market in their favor.

    Who is defending which “authoritarian laws that distort the market in there favor” here? I legitimately have no idea what that’s referring to. Zoning laws? Are there any comments on here that are actually saying that?

      I’m being massively downvoted for advocating for zoning reform, so yes, that’s what people here are conveying even if you carefully phrased your question as a “gotcha” to try to pretend that doesn’t count.

        People aren’t downvoting you for saying zoning is a problem, they’re downvoting you for saying Blackrock isn’t a problem.

          I never said Blackrock wasn’t a problem (in some general sense); I only said it isn’t the real reason the prices are high.

            Weird how blaming Blackrock is “literally defending” zoning laws but blaming zoning laws isn’t “literally defending” Blackrock.
