Blame regulation, not financial speculation, for skyrocketing housing prices

If you want to regulate, limit the number of homes that a person can own and avoid paying taxes. My neighbor pays 1/3 property tax as me on his rented out investment property.

The housing market could use some regulation.

Against price fixing and other anti-competitive practices.

Against using housing as investments, generally.

Against free money for homeowners but not renters.

Against redlining.

The regulations in question are local governments' building regulations that artificially limit the supply of new houses.

Low interest rates also play a big part.
