This is true under conditions of no significant resource constraints. We’ve hit a resource constraint in the most in-demand locations- housing - due to all the known causes like zoning, etc. Regardless of the causes, it’s a constraint that increases the costs across the economy but it is felt the most by the lower parts of the wage scale. It may be wise to balance that while solving the resource constraint in order to avoid destabilization. People will vote against the precarity of their housing situation whether it negatively affects other priorities or not and for a good reason.
