There's a town in upstate NY with the same problem as Duluth. They're trying to pass an ordinance or law to reduce the rents.

All these greedy fucking bastards are going to drive us all to homelessness and a lot of places have plenty of property that can be converted to housing already.

Is it weird to dread collapse and yet eagerly await it at the same time. Once it happens and all these fucks get out of the way, the rest of us can FINALLY get some things done. We don't need McMansions. We need affordable shotgun houses. Tiny home communities. Abandoned office parks to to converted into multi-family dwellings.

Auburn University architectural school had designed shotgun houses that can be built for $20 - 30K. But they'll never be built because they won't turn a profit and developers are greedy fucking bastards.
