> 71 dollars off 1850 isn't going to do anything

The point is the modern urban economic illiteracy that pretends supply and demand don't exist in housing (except when it comes to short-term rental stock, in which case it magically reappears) is wrong. Our housing crisis is a supply-side problem.

I recently denounced some Boomer for this exact comment at a Berkeley public hearing. Unsurprisingly, $71 per month at the margin is quite useful to many people.
