I'm tired of development. I'm tired of the "progress of man." There is no way to escape it, either; you can only delay your immersion in it.

It sucks, Josh, and you live in Mifflin County!

Does Cameron County still have the distinction of least populated PA county, and do they need teachers in Emporium?

It does suck! I see Mifflin County changing in ways that those who are in charge of our county deem as progress; I see the changes eroding my happiness here. I don't want TJ Maxx, new hotels, and development in the Kish Valley as a "bedroom community to State College." It all sucks, and I find it quite depressing.

Take a drive around the greater State College area. It is sickening to me. I've been hauling my boat to Sayers Reservoir a lot, and man, eventually from Pleasant Gap to Hublersburg is all going to be housing developments.

The only way out of this is a solution called "Zero Population Growth." Apparently this is a prospect that Elon Musk fears more than a 50% drop in the shares of Tesla.

I've been stricken by the last man in the lifeboat syndrome too. If people want housing prices to drop, more must be built. Its fact. people familiar with Boulder Co over the last 30 years understands this.

Yeah, sometimes that's true. But other times when an area is growing new builds are still expensive as hell, and the "affordable" housing is apartments and town houses that still cost too much.

I'm not an economist or a realtor, but an area going through growth has expensive properties. Properties and homes in those sparsely populated and shrinking communities is where the cheap homes are. It's the same principle; there is a surplus, but in developing regions, things seem to always be expensive.

The cheap homes are being bought up by "landlords" and rented to the highest bidder.

two things drive it. Margins are higher for larger and amenity-filled houses. Second, people want larger houses. Demand. I grew up in a ~1000sq ft house, 1 bath, no AC, no garage. There were 6 of us- two sisters and one bathroom, enough said. nowadays people want to move into new(er) larger houses with multiple rooms. Multiple baths, big kitchens, central air, two car garages etc. These things cost.
