How housing became the world’s biggest asset class

Remove all the housing regulation in California and allow builders to build. You'll smoothly see rents going down to $500/month. Start having integrity and finally do what's best for your country, not best for just yourself. Otherwise... All other countries are quickly catching up (esp. Europe and Asia) and soon, it will be irrelevant.

The regulations which are the only thing allowing many people to still afford their lifelong houses die to rent inflation and gentrification? The regulations preventing many areas from becoming ugly skyscraper apartments? Which regulations are you talking about?

Which housing regulation? Building codes for earthquakes? Or zoning which prevents apartment buildings in the middle of single-family housing neighborhoods? I assume you mean the second, and not the first.
