220. Lack of low-cost housing is a huge problem
and it impacts so many people, especially the working poor who especially need to be close to their places of employment.

It's pretty bad up here in Seattle, too.

And I know what you're talking about down there, since I lived in Orange County for quite a few years.
It also impacts students, particularly those who attend colleges without residences and they are some of the people crowding together into apartments and houses.

I don't doubt that some municipalities would like to tax on a per capita basis. That would instantly broaden the tax base, but I wonder if any of that would go to solving what creates the situation, the lack of low-cost housing options.
