Op-Ed: Development Flippers Aren't Breaking The Market — Policy Is
Storeys

AI Article Summary
The article argues that criticism towards development 'flippers', who prepare land for resale rather than building on it, is misguided. It suggests that the real issue lies in the complex and costly regulatory framework that makes such investment attractive. The authors assert that these intermediaries add value by navigating the complex entitlement process, thus allowing builders to focus on construction. Consequently, the blame for stalled development should be directed at policy, not the flippers.
