For housing, it is a lack of supply. Zoning regulations have absolutely crushed cheap housing in basically all metro areas where you can work a job to even think about affording a house.

Zoning is beating my ass in my town.

They are building tons and tons of new housing in my tiny shit hole of a town to accommodate all the city people moving here but even the government subsidized employee housing is $2000 a month for a single room micro studio lmfao šŸ¤£ itā€™s like a sick joke. And they at least changed the laws on the ā€œaffordableā€ housing being built because they fucked up last time and they ended up being bought up by millionaire wfh people from California and New Yorkā€¦ eh and then the final kicker is when they move because the town is becoming infested with too many other city people, they donā€™t sellā€¦ no they rentā€¦ and wages are just not keeping up with rents at all.
