I find this particularly fascinating at the local government levels. Big cities that have been attracting tech talent for a decade while decimating affordable housing supply have nowhere for their seasonal workers to live.

Homelessness increases due to housing crisis and reurbanization and yuppies start screaming about the homeless. So cities now fight homelessness with camping bans and increased policing. The police also want more money because their suburban homes are more expensive too. So the city pours money into "cleaning up" and basically anything but adding affordable housing. They need those property taxes to stay high, because the tech corps they all recruited are in the city tax free. All the new wealthy ghouls dodge city taxes too.

All of this, ALL OF IT, could be prevented with affordable housing. So many aspects of the American economy are in overdrive off a cliff BECAUSE OF HOUSING.
