How did I miss that???? Thanks for letting me know. That’s progress. Now, will it make any impact on costs? I guess we find out.

I’m with you that different housing markets have different attributes, but nyc is not “wholly unique”, as it is representative of many other “megalopolis’” in this country, which in turn makes up a portion of this country and its overall market. I’m open to hearing housing issues, other than the ones I mentioned, for…

I don’t know how a policy like that, with such admittedly tough short-term impacts, would ever pass politically.

Another honest question: Which regulations can feasibly be reduced?

Most often, relative housing costs by area are often offset by relative incomes per area. If you buy a house for $100k but have no solid job prospects in that area, it’s still unaffordable, right? I do agree there is some purchase fear out there, but that’s harder to control than supply side pricing.

Honest question (I know that seems weird these days): What can actually be done about out of control construction costs so that when more housing is built, it won’t tend towards being priced just as highly?

Exactly, Sarah Barker, exactly. And it’s probably lupus.

4 out of 5 of your “Michigan is better” points had to do with football and not school, so it’s not completely shocking that you find yourself confused. Did you attend the University of Michigan Football School as well?
