The Biggest Problem With American Suburbs: They Can't Grow

California has famously dysfunctional housing politics. It's no secret that housing across the state is extremely expensive. One of the biggest causes comes down to supply and demand-a lot of people want to live there, but there are many exclusionary cities and towns which make it next to impossible to build more housing. When people argue against denser housing, they often say things like "We already have too much traffic! We're short on water! Our schools will become overcrowded!" In other words, they argue that their town, which they themselves were perfectly able to move into, is now "full". But at the same time, California needs to grow-and that's what this video is ultimately about. If you liked the video, please like and subscribe to support the channel!
