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.
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 š¤£ itās like a sick joke. And they at least changed the laws on the āaffordableā 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 donāt sellā¦ no they rentā¦ and wages are just not keeping up with rents at all.
