    That is actually your understanding of anything I have posted?

    FWIW, if it helps you, I could give a rat's ass if you borrow or save, or how much of either you do. That has zero to do with anything I am talking about.

    What I do have a problem with is the cost of people's borrowing (and consequently, the return anyone earns on their savings) being artificially price-fixed by an appointed czar.

    Whether you understand it or not, it does more harm to your country and to you than anything you are actually focused on. When you destroy savings by distorting the market, you destroy investment. And investment is what grows an economy and increases standards of living over time.

    I could be wrong here, but I took that from @dixiehack as a lighthearted, and friendly, instance of smart-assedness.

    If it didn’t mean re-activating my Twitter account I would make that my bio.

    Presumably the one-dimensional cliché of well-to-do young opportunists flowing into poor(er) neighborhoods and driving out preceding populations.

    The real villains in the tale of gentrification are not 20-something new entrants to mixed-income neighborhoods, but NIMBY homeowners in the wealthiest ones.

    So if more units are built overall, there will be less pressure on the neighborhoods that tend to gentrified? Interesting.
