[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the silly people saying building more housing doesn't work:

Try again.[/quote]

Washington DC has been adding thousands of housing units every single year for decades. Just because this issue is new to you doesn’t mean it hasn’t already been tried many many times before.[/quote]

Oh man, I wonder how it could be true that Washington DC has built housing and yet prices are increasing. Could it be that population is growing faster than the construction of new housing? No, that couldn't possibly be the case.

It will always be true, no matter how many units we add. [/quote]

What's your point?[/quote]

Add all the housing you want. It will not make any difference to prices. There’s five million people in the suburbs and many of them would love a shorter commute.[/quote]
Induced demand! It’s funny and yet it’s also true. [/quote]
