Many people talk about the affordable housing shortage but few discuss the artificial scarcity cities and counties create through these two housing regulations alone, driving up property values thus making real estate speculation more profitable at the expense of low income renters whose meager wage growth never keeps up with realty price inflation. Homelessness inevitably grows. In Southern Nevada there are 5,000 homeless persons on any given night and 13,000 experience homelessness annually, far more than the capacity of the city and county shelters in place.
There is a focussed war on homeless these days, partly because they can't defend themselves! Bureaucratic Bullies should be required to spend some time on the streets, as continuing education units.
It would open their eyes, and maybe their hearts!
