gollark: Weird. Why is that? If it's just labour and materials, which drives the most of the increase?
gollark: Also, less pollution.
gollark: I live in some random place in the middle of nowhere, and while that's generally annoying it means housing is cheap, if little else.
gollark: In a sane system, there would be more houses built to compensate for demand. Unfortunately in a lot of places there seem to be weird obstacles to this, like zoning stuff and people living there saying "no development, we must have high housing prices".
gollark: You mean "increasing prices because demand went up"? How terrible.
