Let’s talk about the housing affordability crisis. News headlines frame developers as struggling companies deserving charity and fewer restrictions like zoning. Yet every industry publication I’ve read this morning cites the highest profit margins in *decades* for home builders. Isn’t that interesting? The industry thrives while campaigning for more laxity. I don’t buy that unblocking builders will improve housing. Cheaper and less safe for the same price, most likely. The American way.
