<< is part of it as wealth for those at the top has skyrocketed to record levels versus everyone else. Ironic we have all these wealthy conservatives living, working and playing in the best hoods of our big blue cities. But there is much more to it than just this Koan.. Can start with more expansive fed intervention at every cycle in recent decades, anti development sentiment in what are all land constrained coastal markets, rapid ghettos expansion post Great Society all putting an added premium on the shrinking supply of desired higher end property the fast growing well to do and high earner crowds would chose to buy..>> I am not sure I even understand that paragraph. But what I would say is that it seems to me you are recounting stuff which has at its base social decisions. Planning decisions. What I keep trying to convince people, is that if one wants a healthy society what it requires is good and equitable planning. The more we increase the education of our society the better the society will function because people will better understand how successful societies function. Without understanding social science, nothing can be accomplished. And that is my bitch with the Republicans. When have you ever heard them talk about social science? Never! Yet knowledge of social science in making laws which affect society would seem to be a no brainer. But pubs think they can administer society with little to no knowledge of the subject they are making decisions about. But in a nut shell. The more we afford the populace affordable education the better our society will function. If you educate a ghetto------that ghetto will vanish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
