So here's what I would say, right? If your response to this is, this is why we need socialized housing. That is not solving the problem because the problem is the government can't build anything, right? Even if there's two, you know, thoughts here, one, you could like really expand the free market, make it way easier for private developers to build.

And I think there's a lot of evidence that that works.

With the guy in San Francisco, it's, okay, if you have to spend four to five million dollars, which, by the way, could build a building, if you need to spend that much just to get the approval to build a thing, the only people who can afford to go through all that process and still build something at the end are big luxury apartments.

So the very people, the very progressives who are stopping all this and saying, no, you can't do this, it's not affordable enough, by putting all these processes in place are preventing anything from being built and everybody suffers. And

I mean, this will go to like my my the overall thing that I was really taken away from the book, which represents the frustration I have felt watching politics in San Francisco with friends of mine, which is that there's this he talks. He says everything bagel approach in the book. So the idea was like, you're trying to make everybody happy and get everybody on board.

So if you build in most democratic states, it's not just the landowner that you're needing to purchase the land from and the immediate landowners nearby. It's also every possible preference of the neighbors and the community and the character of the neighborhood and the homeowners associations and how it looks and every possible environmental angle.

And we have all these lawsuits like SICA where you don't even have to really be related. You can just throw up lawsuits towards basically any single project. This is used everywhere. to extort people into a building with certain contractors, by the way, because they will be like, hey, we have environmental concerns about your hospital you're building in Sacramento.

But if you go with us as contractors for all of the work, we're not really concerned anymore. These are easily abused. So you need to get the preferences of the unions and certain minorities and disadvantaged groups and small businesses and the taxpayers and lenders and auditors.
