>Then by all means, meet that demand and everyone wins. That's lost profit for the builders, architects, and potential tax revenue too.

Yeah, "lost profit", the cardinal evil. Sure, everybody wins, except the poor devils that make less than 100k and can't afford housing anymore. But who cares about them? Profit profit profit!

The truth is public policies should seek to maximise social gain. It's not their fucking job to enter into considerations about some people's profits.

PS: it doesn't make economic sense to waste money doing proper waste management when you can just dump your poison in the river, nevertheless we legislate that businesses must do the former.
