Housing. On land. With our hands. Unfortunately, the single greatest hurdle is bureacracy which requires layers upon layers of paperwork to build a single thing. On top of that, the taxes don’t help pricing the asset either. Nor do the additional 1000s of pages of regulations that prevent laypeople from making money on that housing.

It's now required nearly every electrical breaker be AFCI @$50/ea instead of $5/ea. Extra $900 right there. Multiply that by all the other bullshit...

The only free land is far away. This is a huge problem in itself.
