Local NIMBYs and landlords love constrained supply. They leverage zoning codes, claims about aesthetics, parking and traffic concerns, and worst of all affordability percentages to constrain local supply so that their home values and rental incomes will rise. This happens with so much political strategem that the only obvious thing about it is how vested and deliberate it is.

Yet when we look at ultra dense cities around the world where parking or traffic aren’t concerns (because of good public transit), the housing prices become even more crazy.

Tijuana doesn't have those problems, and yet for some reason people that can afford it prefer to live in San Diego. Maybe ultra high density isn't that great? It certainly isn't if you want to swim anywhere near the Tijuana river.

Only one of those places has rule of law.
