Guess where most people live. Is it in Atlanta? No, it’s in the nation.
1/9 homes are owned by national corporations
Yes, it sounds like Atlanta has a problem. We agree. But it’s not relevant to the discussion. I’m not saying your data is wrong, just not relevant.
Look at the post this comment is on. It’s an article about passing laws that enforce affordable housing.
My comment was that this is absolutely a positive thing. I think it’s something that we should celebrate rather than spreading doomerism claiming that it was all for naught. Positive change like this absolutely matters, and we should celebrate those victories rather than wallowing in doom.
“That sounds like an Atlanta problem” one can only reasonably address this issue locally/regionally. To paint broad strokes with the national average is CRAZY disingenuous given addressing inventory deficiencies isn’t like shipping a widget from Omaha to Los Angeles.
Most people need to not worry about the national average because it is skewed (speaking of - what is the actual distribution?) - they need to worry about wherever they actually are.
ETA addressing the last paragraph of your comment: agreed! That is something to be celebrated. Wallowing in doomerism certainly doesn’t help anyone but let’s also not pretend this isn’t a very real problem people face (home unavailability).
