What are you proposing then. Shoulder to shoulder includes everything that isn't detached.

How would less dense housing be cheaper when you need to buy more land and land is the thing that is expensive? Never mind things like utilities, public transport, police etc.

Its more of an engineering frontier and that has always been advanced best with capitalism. Unfortunately nothing has come along that's better.

You're talking about keeping density low as a means to keep house prices low. It's stupid.

NASA went private because they wanted to save money. Falcon 9 have achieved so much more than any government ever has. Shows how little you know about spacex or even space in general.

How much of american GDP went towards Apollo? How much is going to SpaceX?

NASA saved a fortune on SpaceX. Elon must be a genius then if he managed all this with no formal education. What a legend.

Starship is overdue so is SLS. It's rocket science. No one said it was easy.

Again SpaceX is trying to do something that no one else is even trying. This year is just data collection. Also they have been slowed by government, but they would still be behind anyway.

You just can't face or you are just ignorant to what Spacex has actually achieved. Go look it up.

What has Spacex achieved under Elon musk? Why did Nasa look for private businesses? What other car companies have made EV's? How many exactly?

Oh wait you just hate him so nothing matters.

I think you will find some of the most high density housing in the world is very expensive. What are you even on about. Land is expensive. You think detached housing is the cheapest way to build houses? You're out if your mind. Supply and demand. Locals could live in the houses if other people weren't coming in and buying them. How many immigrants are living in these countries? Why dont you compare that to vacant housing? The vacant housing is only a big issue in undesirable locations and you need some anyway. Like I said LVT is the way forward. Solves this problem.

The market will built it normally, the government doesn't allow them to.

If you really want to incentive building then you need a land value tax.

Need a Land value tax and the ability to build medium/high density housing.

Thanks for posting. Love seeing everyday astronauts enthusiasm.

SpaceX is such an amazing company. Sad people can't see it because they are too interested in circle jerking their hate boner over Elon.

There isnt a ton sitting empty. Dome need to be empty obviously for people to move in and out and for renovation. But even that isn't enough to satisfy demand.

Your plan is more housing restriction and let me guess the awful idea that is tent control? Neither of these prevent the issue of lack of supply. Thats where the solution lies.

Of course governments need to enforce building standards. Things like public transport and density.

But at the moment the government is the one stopping more housing, especially higher density. If you allowed business to build more houses they would.

Government spending do to what exactly?

I have no issue with government spending. If fact I think the government should buy all the land. That's my proposal. But housing will be built more efficiently by the market. Governments are inefficient.

You're an idiot. You're not going to build that much in 1 year.

If you did have that much work being done in Barcelona money would flood in from elsewhere also. Especially the EU.

The industry in Spain is worth $206.4 billion per year. Money would be found.

What'd the solution to a fundamental lack of housing stock then?

If there is a shortage of housing what do you actually propose to make more housing?

You can't possibly think 1% of housing will solve this problem never mind for a generation even for short term it won't solve anything.

I didn't say any of that.

Airbnb is 1% of the stock having been formed in 2007. How much do you think immigration has increased by since 2007? Less than 1% of the population?

You really think freeing up 1% of housing stock is going to magically mean everyone that wants to buy a house now suddenly can?

Ultimately it is a supply and demand issue.

Supply is artificial restricted because no one will build because either they simply can't or the value is going up too much that there is no point (which can be solved) and population is increasing.

If you built a shit load of homes there would be both more houses to rent/buy and more Airbnb options. Honestly the airbnb option in a lot of places is a problem because large hotel can't be built.

There are 827,557 residential homes in Barcelona. There are 10,101 airbnb properties. That's about 1.2%.

What you think happens if Barcelona builds another 100,000 houses/hotels?

This website won't like this. But it's a failing of the market and it could be fixed by capitalism.

Removing restrictions on housing density, and where houses can be built and adding a Land value tax would help things. Also obviously less immigration would solve the demand side of the equation. I think countries should stop focusing on the ever increasing growth of countries and we should focus more on things like free time.

But really the solution to this is A build a new city or B destroy large parts of a city that were built when the city size was 10% it size and built more density, modern building standards, public transport etc.

But the boomer generation don't give a fuck about the next generations so probably have to wait for them to die.

From what I have gathered. In German you can just make up words, it it makes sense everyone will just go along with it.

There are a lot of words in English that could exist but if you made them someone would look at like you are stupid for thinking something that isn't a word is a word. You can't just make words.
