Availability of capital is not a problem that needs to be fixed
1 comments

Housing shortage is an example of poor capital availability.
Housing shortage, at least in the US, isn’t really a problem of capital availability. It’s mostly due to local zoning regulations that make it very difficult to actually create housing, regardless of capital availability.
I was thinking in terms of "housing is a form of capital"
Hmm, I don't feel like that's what the original comment was getting at since it was talking about taxation.
