Comment on Is it better to rent a cheap/shitty place, or rent something suitable that you struggle to afford?
NeptuneOrbit@lemmy.world 2 months agoNo one is making low cost housing. Yes sure making more houses might stop the bleeding on cost.
But no developer is like “yeah I want to build some affordable housing. Something those stuck in the slums aspire to”.
They make the shit with the best margins.

I think it’s both. There is a lot of NIMBYism and local homeowners like to vote against affordable housing. And of course, the homeowners are all old and retired and have time to harass city councils.
