Reply to comment by fail-deadly- in [OC] Building permits (in housing units) per capita, by state (fix) by born_in_cyberspace

B-b-b-but the post title "More houses are being built in states with growing populations" wouldn't be clickbaity or try to push my political agenda!

“You want to build a house? Not in my state!”

This is a highly editorialized title that is not supported by the data presented (this is starts per capita, which doesn’t measure how responsive the permitting process is to market demand; showing starts per application might get closer).

Such editorialization suggests that OP has an agenda. What agenda? I don’t know for sure but I would hazard a guess that they are trying to paint a picture of some states being unreasonably restrictive of issuing new construction permits, given that title. Too bad they aren’t actually showing data that supports said picture.
