Who are the people that “seriously question basic market pressure being a thing”? Am I missing something?
Every leftist European nimby party comes to mind.
There was an article on HN front page a few months ago which stated(paraphrased) "building more housing to reduce prices is a right wing ideology that doesn't match reality" or some such. I'll reply here if I find it.
Just look through the comments on any post about housing or immigration and you will see hordes of them.
