Our laws facilitate the leaching of labor to land owners (feudalism). If it were easier to build a surplus of housing, this wouldn&#x27;t be such an issue but between NIMBYism, zoning, local municipal red tape, and the near zero incentive from developers to build inexpensive housing units in mass quantities near urban centers, than this issue will remain siphoning any surplus of wealth from labor in cities (Silicon Valley, NYC, etc).<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=11158398" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=11158398</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10442929" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10442929</a>
