Construction companies would rather not build if they cannot get a significant profit. Since new home buying is dropping, it means fewer construction jobs.

Because our society doesn't do things to fulfill needs of society. We NEED plentiful, affordable, permanent housing. We NEED new infrastructure that benefits the masses with public transit and more well designed population centers. We NEED alternative energy sources for a sustainable future.

We get whatever is most profitable to very few. We GET policy that isn't helpful to the masses but profitable to those who already hold power.

You dont see any sort of correlation between the MOST FUCKED UP things in this country simultaneously being the ones the government is the deepest into "regulating, subsidizing, or policing"?

The housing market, the health care market, and the education market are all FUCKED by people like you thinking VOTING equals DOING what it takes to get things we "NEED".

Beleive me, let it all go, all the market capture, all the zoning, all the subsidies, and we'll end up with what we "need." Or you can keep trying to have a "kind a free market" and the economically obvious shortages that come with them.
