You can't argue that to the average citizen though, they don't understand the concept. They can't understand it... because they are stupid and ignorant when it comes to economics beyond basic arithmetic.

Most people are hypocrites. Has nothing to do with what they believe.
Most of the Boston/Camberville people you talk to are all about housing and progressivism and transit and bikes!! Until they put a bike lane or new housing development on their street. Then they are vociferously against it.
Anyone I know in Davis Sq or Union Sq for example, is 100% against the new development there. Because change = bad. They live there, and nobody else should!

talk to any progressive in MA about raising their taxes or fees or whatever, and watch them immediately backpedal.
they are for lots of things, but if you suggest they pay more to see those things happen, they are suddenly not for them anymore.
same reason most of them are NIMBY and against housing, in their town or neighborhood. but 100% for it somewhere else.

conservatives and progressives in America don't want to pay for anything.
They think everything the govt does should be magically free.

It already is.
the existing residents don't care. they want their houses to go up 15% year on year.

It's not companies. It's the C suite who want to live somewhere better than bumfuck CT, so it's easier for them to catch flights.

it varies wildly depending on what your needs are, and the dates.
I pay about 80/day for a dog and a cat overnight. That is on the cheap side.
Still much cheaper than boarding, which would be double that.
