Reply to comment by plummbob in Rent too damn high? Landlords have formed an illegal cartel according to several reports by cogitator_tertius

We have a housing shortage not because we lack wood or copper, but because it's literally illegal to add more homes to the lots that exist.

So wait is it because it's illegal or the cost of development is too high I am getting confused now.

Restrictive zoning makes most development illegal, and creates costly barriers to the development that does take place.... ie only allowing large scale apartment projects but keeping townhouses illegal
