This is what's so frustrating.

Why is there not a political party that respects women, trans rights, likes the environment, wants public transit but also allows housing to be built

It's the most frustrating thing to see OR politicians absolutely frick up the housing market over the last 20 years with objectively failed policies.

There is an ongoing project to turn the democratic party into that!

Check out a just-out book called "Abundance" which has crystalized some of these ideas into somwewhat of a manifesto.

But generally the answer to your question is that democratic-ruled cities have high housing costs, people there have bought homes at those prices and if you were to make housing cheaper you would tank the value of the biggest asset most of your constituents own

If your solution can be called a manifesto then it's not a solution at all. For anything :marseysmug2:

Your manifesto: Bad, fascistic, reeks of inceldom, and poorly thought-out. :chudrage:

MY manifesto: Good, wholesome, reeks of good faith, and definitely thinks more than one step ahead :smugjak:

How much of that was lockdowns, and how much of it was lifestyle, health, income, population density, healthcare systems, etc.?

From the article: "Oregon entered the pandemic with the fewest hospital beds per capita of any state in the nation. Since the 1990s, the state had worked to contain health care costs by guarding against excess capacity in hospitals.

That plan backfired when the pandemic hit, overwhelming hospitals and raising a very real possibility that Oregon might not have the capacity to treat everyone who urgently needed care."

That would imply that the hospital systems didn't really matter.
