> we are not good at making new places that people want to be

Isn’t this every boom town or place complaining about their quaint community blowing up?

I'm not sure I follow entirely.

If you're responding to an implication that people should go have their own nice place elsewhere and not bother me in my nice place... yeah, I can understand why that's problematic. But I don't think the position "we should build more nice places" is itself a wrong position to take.

I’m saying every time a quiet town’s housing market booms, that is peoples’ preferences around where they want to live shifting.
