    Are you okay?

    If your single family home is worth $4 million, that is the market telling you that that single family home should not exist.

    Right, an unsustainable bubble, I said that. This boomer family bought a reasonably sized and priced house that’s on the edge of the city, and now they’re forced to sell it and not be able to replace it with a bigger home on their budget in the same part of town, they didn’t fuck things up Zillow did!

    The gen z family who buys today won’t be about to upsize tomorrow, and you’re gonna blame them.

      The fuck-up was by the city, which failed to abolish the single-family zoning in order to allow the land to be developed to its highest and best use.
