What is your motivation for being fine with luxury housing, but concerns over airbnb etc is real shit? Are you a developer or landlord yourself?

I'm fine with luxury housing because all new housing is good. We should have a lot more of it.

I don't think short-term rentals are good.

I'm not a landlord or developer.

But why do you think it HAS to be luxury? What if i told you we could build mountains of affordable housing without displacing people? You'll probably tell me it's not possible.

Its all these laissez-faire evangelists who pretend that the "free" market is god and we just have to build luxury cuz that's what developers want 🤷🏻‍♂️.

Where did I say that?

I just want to remove restrictions on building. There will be more "luxury" apartments build in on the UWS and Chelsea. And there were will be cheaper units built in the outer boroughs.

Your saying it right there. Your saying the inner city should be all luxury and everyone who isn't rich should be pushed out to the outer boroughs and your perfectly ok with that.
