A 600sqft box is a luxury because we have decided it should be rare.

We are massively overbuilding a housing type with offensive levels of resource consumption built in: single family detached.

Cap VW at 100 cars a year. Think they’re going to be Jettas or Porsche? Probably Porsche. Doing that, then getting mad that cars are unaffordable, and saying “clearly if we let the automakers make more cars they will just be more Porsches, that’s not helping” would be silly.
