This is high cost in 21st century terms and does not provide adequate affordable housing options for our communities. Regulatory negligence inphysical planning terms is the direct cause of the economic unaffordability and disfunctional housing outcomes currrently produced.

And I believe accurate. Isn't it amazing how no one has the answers! History doesn't repeat itself but it often rhymes- Mark Twain. But, I buy alot of Larger and smaller property( bottom -fisher) and I build and rebuild, $1000.00 doesn't go far. Real estate now( and has been! ) actually cheap! 100 dollars a square foot is less than build COST Wouldn't it stand to reason, that if inflation is rampant and population going up, particularly in a verticle market(limited space) wouldn't that have to translate eventually into value. And certainly real estate is boyant with inflation. Where am I going wrong? Remember people always need a place to live. Treasury supplies dollars for rent in depression. Talk to me.

The S&L crisis was also a crime and not an accident, by and large. Just practice for the big sting.
