I could be incorrect but from what I’ve seen there have been multiple towers and other luxury buildings opened to high end buyers/tenants that had a very difficult time filling up and with a lot of empty spaces. Building these high end towers might theoretically lower prices down the road a few years-maybe.

The state needs to be creative and make some budgetary changes in order to afford to build housing. The state can’t afford it and people can’t afford their rent. So the only solution I ever see proposed is to build luxury condos. It’s a stretch to say this will benefit the working class and poor
