    Vacancy rates in the places where people actually want to live are really low. Besides, are people not allowed to have vacation homes?

    Market price is a function of supply and demand. We’ve been under building housing for years.

        The Universe doesn’t give a fuck about your summer home, nature doesn’t give a fuck that you worked hard to get it.

        Nor does the universe care about your sense of fairness or lack of understanding of econ 101. Keep restricting supply while demand increases, and watch what happens. Oh wait, we’ve already seen what happens, and yet we refuse to acknowledge it.

        So be it. A population deserves the problems it gets.
