> the more they say no, the higher the value of the house

Isn’t the argument we’re talking about saying the opposite? The more housing (i.e. the more they say yes), the higher the value of their house?



Ahh.. I was less precise than I should have been. Words can be tricky - let me be more technical.

There is price and there is value. The more they say yes, the more value you get. The more they say no, the higher the price.


Oh, realized a better way to explain this.

When you say yes, you grow the pie. When you say no, you get a bigger piece.
