FFS, if you're going to drop a "freahman on week 3 of Econ 101" rant like this you need to provide the customary bong rips in between paragraphs.

Also may want to check into things like "land is a finite resource" and "subsidence" for why everybody can't just magically add infinity floors to their building or "create more housing" without bound.

Please don't post snarky dismissals here. Perhaps the article is that bad, but making HN worse isn't a good reaction. We're going for thoughtful discussion here, not bile.
