Reply to comment by MapoTofuWithRice in Evictions in Maine shot up during 2022, with filings growing 27% by iwantmypinkshirtback

ive followed the issue for a decade. I don't support no more local democracy for real estate goals. Its so funny if this is such a great idea, its not working anywhere!

The crisis is about sub 100k people IMO. If you want an $1800 rent and can swing it , your fine. Live in Boston, live in Maine. If you have money America is fine.

YIMBYism is a fake movement created by Peter Thiel and techies in Cali. Ive watched it spread last decade :)

If you think its progressive to deregulate housing, you be you.

Can you show me examples of where deregulating zoning laws and aggressively densifying have failed?

California! Prices are going up... Again stop playing stupid here, you are the one agreeing to these insane premises. How many times do I need to type, Portland put in more units since 2010 and HAS LESS PEOPLE.
