It would be fairly simple in a functioning country to setup a government program that provided price stability for long-term construction projects. Since housing is such a large proportion of inflation metrics, increasing housing supply would also help stabilize prices and eliminate the need for such a program in the long run. Alas we are living in a failed state.

I am constantly amazed by the lack of imagination in America for anything good ever happening again. It is such a subtle and profound aspect of American collapse. The country that put a man on the moon, can't figure out how to build some condos or a damn train. It's astounding. They made more progress on high speed rail 100 years ago with the Lackawanna Cutoff, than California has after 20 years and billions of dollars wasted. Learned helplessness while the banksters pick our pockets and laugh. This country cannot balkanize fast enough if you ask me. The nation of New England wouldn't be so pathetic without the shithole states dragging us down.
