Why the fuck do people care so much about property and resale values on homes? Like seriously I get people use as an investment sometimes, but that's fucking stupid. Housing is a basic need and when buy a house you should be buying it to live in for the next 30-40 years probably unless something happens. You shouldn't be buying a house if you are only living in a city for a year or two in my opinion.
Like we are letting our weird obsession with property values prevent meaningful change. Because people will and do say things like you can’t build low income or multi family housing in our neighborhood because it will drop the property values or you can’t build mass transit near our homes because it will drop the property values
