hypothetical nonsense -- whole cities in California cannot attract new Doctors or uniform police because the person working cannot afford RENT. public school teachers have been priced out of RENT for more than a decade. The ability to purchase a home comes only after personal capital is accumulated for most people. A recent study showed in California that in many areas, household income must be FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND per YEAR documented income to purchase an ordinary home. This housing system is top-loaded with capital for twenty years now.

nonsense like "oh maybe another five million would want to come here" is not only distracting, but bordering on cruel denial.
