 Alert readers will notice that housing prices are sticky and should have
 fallen in light of higher mortgage rates and insurance costs, as well as
 the fact that things like HOA fees, property taxes, and those insurance
 costs are not something the Feds can readily address.

Yeah, I was curious about this.  I guess this really points to the true
strength of the "owners" over the "non-owners" (e.g., NIMBY-ism and crime
crackdowns).  It's no wonder that there's an inflation problem.

I agree with the article: not only is there nothing that can be done, but
anything that would be attempted, would get lots of pushback from the
"owner class".
