I'm involved in housing politics where I live. I go to hearings, pay attention to what's coming through the planning department. I see what causes housing to not be built. It's NIMBYs. My neighbors. Not some far-off bogeyman". The reason big companies got into the housing market is because there are good returns, because it's difficult to build housing. Why? NIMBYs. The best way to stick it to the big companies is to build enough housing.
