The state needs to do things in order for its residents to prosper and you can’t nail-house these things to oblivion. Well, you can, but others will disagree.
At some point the growth will have to slow down. If you are in a position where multigenerational households are being destroyed to make way for vast suburban and data center developments, perhaps it's time to pump the brakes a little bit.
In fact, yes, vast housing developments and datacenters actually are important to American prosperity and a few households cannot indefinitely hold the rest of society hostage.
I believe we will, in my lifetime, restart heavy energy projects, extra-large housing projects, and more industry. This will be done over the protests of many people who, having benefited from prior periods of economic growth, oppose growth and prosperity. And the resulting society will be better for most. And this is particularly critical since it will be most beneficial for the young.
