1. Settlers colonize indigenous lands, drive indigenous people into small parcels and reservations and try to exterminate their culture.
2. Settlers decide to start refusing to build enough housing for themselves because they don’t want to alter the “character of the neighborhood” after… uhh… very much doing that.
3. Indigenous people build housing on their remaining bits of land for settlers, make tons of money off it.
K, yeah, I think I got it.
Maybe there’s a solution for California in here: decolonize!
Who were the indigenous people who inhabited the Bay Area? If they’re still around, push a big decolonizing movement to return some land to them. Place looks like Tokyo in 20 years.
“Okay, okay, we suck, you can have your ancestors land back. Just can you let me reserve a condo when they go on sale?”
Then watch all the Bay Area lefty 60s homeowners suddenly become white nationalists. Their ideology is probably downstream of their home equity.
