    Those sound like better ideas to prioritize to me. Besides political machinations, what reasons are there not to implement those types of policies?

      Everyone who is making money by not implementing these policies is peeling off some of it to keep the policies that make them the money in place.

      Corporations have lots of money and so a lot of people are told that it’s the “nimby’s” who aren’t letting things get built and that “Trickle Down Housing works!”. There is a slight chance Trickle Down Housing would work in 30 to 40 years, but regulating real estate is the fastest, easiest and best for the people who live there. So basically, the people who want more and more money.
