It depends on so many factors. My local government is all boomers and older. My voice and lack of experience isn't as influential as the others. Although we've discussed issues like preserving naturally occurring affordable housing, it's clear that final decisions are at the whims of people who are unaffected by the housing crisis.
The real solution is for many, many, many younger people to get involved. We can't sit on our asses, complaining on the internet, and expect anything to happen.
Not talking about you, of course. Just continuing on from your comment...
