I think the solution is clear. Legalize tall buildings. Requiring someone to own or rent thousands of square feet of land to get access to hundreds of square feet of housing is guaranteed to lead to shortages.

And abolish prop 13 in California and other tax pyramid schemes ? Especially for entities that are not people.

I wonder why even with a super majority, Dems still haven’t raised split-roll for removing prop13 for corporations.

Land value taxes. What's better than legalizing tall buildings, is incentivizing tall buildings.
