[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The term "missing middle" is so deceptive. It is a clever name to make the proposal sound like something to help the middle class, but getting people to buy expensive condos and townhomes does not help the middle class (SFHs are actually the biggest driver of wealth). It should really just be called the "increase density" proposal. But that would make it too painfully obvious what the goal is; better to deceive people to get what you want.[/quote] It's a clever name that points out there's a whole range of housing types that are not allowed to be built, and are therefore missing. Does it help the middle class to make more housing types more available and more affordable for the middle class in more areas? I think it does. [/quote]
