>Housing went up globally because of local policies all across the world all at the same time, huh?

1. source for "Housing went up globally"?

2. You don't really need every jurisdiction to by NIMBY for global house prices to go up. For instance if half the world is NIMBY and the other half is "meh", and housing prices in the NIMBY half went up 50% while the other half stayed the same, you'd still observe that "Housing went up globally".

NIMBYism also isnt something that would grow worse globally without an underlying driver.

That underlying driver is wealth inequality.


In Massachusetts we have to follow international building codes with some commonwealth wide modifications.
