Living in So CO, I smh at what's going on up there. The cost of living elsewhere in the state can be 1/3 to 1/2 the price. The govt and corporate employers could easily decentralize and stay in CO.

Someone should try this with medicine. Instead of subsidizing insurance (demand side), let’s spend the money to bring doctors to the USA from all over the world and have them work in free clinics (supply side).

we also could just stop having the federal government limit the number of residency slots so we could have enough doctors trained in the US.

You don't even need to import foreign doctors: just increase the number of residency slots.

So funny that. Weirdly even if you build nothing but market rate housing, housing gets more affordable. :-)

And by not limit you mean fund. And I agree.

Um the rent is still insanely unaffordable?
