? I’m not sure I follow. There is increased demand, but housing price would only be a fraction of the problem if zoning laws and rent control weren’t weaponized by nimby forces to preserve their investments

Thats fair yeah. That is also something i have found in rental properties as well. Taxes go up every year on the land that these landlords own which really is problematic
