re: #138 Love-Child of Cassandra and Sisyphus

It doesn’t have to be a conspiracy. All it requires is that local governments pay more attention to the needs of homeowners (who pay property tax directly) over renters (who also pay it, but indirectly).

I find myself feeling pressure from both directions. On one hand, our house is our retirement . We plan to sell and move someplace cheaper - which is literally anywhere! So the higher the price goes, the better.

OTOH, with rents where they are, it feels like The Boys will NEVER be able to afford to move out, so the lower rents go, the better.

I see lots of housing going up along El Camino Real, but it’s nowhere near enough!
