Sort of not really politics, but today is when I realized that to be named a poet laureate you must be certifiably badass at not only writing a poem but reciting it.

I guess this fits the Today I Learned thread. Oh well.

Depends... I mean probably but if you go to the town council meetings and start saying well back up North we would... then they will all roll their eyes at you knowing that you left there because it was unsustainable.

I feel like talking about being from CT is like talking about politics. Don't bring it up unless someone specifically asks me haha.

I don't really believe that and I think you're right, market demands compounded by local governments resisting adding high and low density residential districts because they're interested in protecting their own property values as well as balancing city budgets due to low tax revenue from residential properties vs. business/industrial. Local governments have a stranglehold on allowing new development.

SF and LA are also geographically constrained by mountains and ocean, there's only so much desirable land available for development before you start introducing a traveling burden between suburbs/economic centers.

I can only be level headed so long before I take potshots at people so I'll just leave this Bloomberg article which notes the following;
Quote:
As severe as this sounds, the rest of the country is becoming more—not less—like California. During the longest economic expansion on record, the U.S. has been building far fewer houses than it usually does, pushing prices further out of reach for a vast portion of the population that has barely seen incomes rise.

“California is not alone,” said Chris Herbert, the managing director of Harvard’s Joint Center for Housing Studies. “It’s just more extreme.”
