I’d assume the lack of remotely affordable housing anywhere with jobs

Just think about how much unaffordable housing shaves off from GDP per capita. Every year. Imagine what NYC or Boston would look like if housing was affordable!

The paper “Housing Constraints and Spatial Misallocation” did quantify the effect of zoning restrictions and found that between 1964 & 2009 that it lowered US aggregate output by 36%. So our economy is would be about 50% bigger if not for housing.

Yikes surprising to me that a small rentier class is able to override such a huge economic incentive.

I get downvoted when I mention that. I hope our area can make more affordable housing. It can only improve our ability to contribute to the needs of our communities and beyond.

According to some, we have become a woke, oppressive, communist police state.

In reality probably just higher costs of living.

I'll say it. We have. How the fuck did healey get 113% of votes in some districts?

But I can afford to live here. Here and established. Many of the young coming up... Pack yo shit! Move somewhere they won't mandate jabs, masks. Go somewhere that the incoming Govenor doesn't scissor her inferiors on the job.

Wasn't to hard, she was running against an absolute clown.

Healey can peg me and call me her inferior all night long. While wearing a mask.

Don't know what you are into dude, but read this again...

"How the fuck did healey get 113% of votes in some districts?"

​

I don't care if she was running against a fucking log. She got "volume to 11" votes. Above and beyond. We know the volume went to 10, but somehow she found it to 113% Hmmmmm...

​

And bullshit if it's ok for her to be fucking 3 of her inferiors. Media covered that up well.

This page has the results by town. Please say where Healey got 113% of the vote, because the highest for Healey is Cambridge, at... 91% of the vote.

Also, I dunno why you're so obsessed with the sex life of someone else. That's kinda creepy, honestly.

It's the whole legal part of the sex thing... You wouldn't understand. Big words, legal stuff..

I can't find any references to this happening outside of conservative rags, and having been a conservative before (unfortunate) I'm well aware that they're even more divorced from reality than most other liberals. The veracity of this is doubtful.
