On: Let People Move to Jobs

[sgt101]

Socialism.

[dredmorbius → sgt101]

That would be an economic or market structure, and may be a possible solution. I'm looking at LVT and land use regulation myself.

My initial quip was to point out that (as I suspect @anonymoushn was alluding) the problem isn't technological. Rather it's one of incentives, politics, and market structure.

[sgt101 → dredmorbius]

Yes - agree. I am being provocative as well (HN doesn't like, but sometimes it's useful).

This is a problem of policy and social engineering - technology can and will help, but it won't solve it.

Lol, imagine thinking that the undersupply of housing in US metro is due to the market having too much say.

[claudeganon → wutbrodo]

Lol, imagine thinking housing serving as a speculative asset for global Capital doesn’t constrain and distort supply away from what is needed vs what provides the greatest returns for this class of investors.

[dredmorbius → claudeganon]

There are better ways of expressing this valid notion.
