Homoeconomicus is a very short sighted way to look at the electorate. We don’t have enough housing for a whole lot of reasons, many of them rooted in tribal, cultural ideas. There was redlining that started decades ago and in some places is still quietly practiced.

How many houses are off the market due to VRBO and AirBNB and such?

The lack of supposedly “smart” people to look at the bigger picture is always interesting to me.

Also, Fla. Tx. Az. Ca. are going to experience the brunt of climate change, no mention of that. Look at homeowners rates in those places!!!
