It’s SO weird how out of all those solutions for affordable housing the only one that ever gets executed involves developers getting more money 🤔

oh well I guess we’ll trust the process and just let them keep polluting the city with luxury rentals and pricing out the existing population until we finally figure this out

Maybe so, but could you explain a mechanism by which building less stuff and having less homes available in an area of high demand makes them more affordable?

I'm genuinely interested in hearing your solution.

Apparently, the 4% rent control on >30 year old buildings that's already in place isn't the solution, based on how they pretend it doesn't exist.
