[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“If the market prefers” is a weird way of saying “profit maximization”. [/quote] The market prefers SFH, which is why they cost more. A developer can maximalize profit converting SFH to multi-unit structures. The market doesn’t prefer multi-units which is why they are cheaper and don’t appreciate. [/quote] The market prefers SFH, which is why if you allow more than SFH zoning, SFH will still get built? Sounds good.[/quote] You present yourself as a smart Econ guy and yet ignore price signals entirely. It’s funny how ridiculously simplistic your understanding of economics and market structure. Conflating consumer preference with producer profit motive in an artificially constrained market just makes you look dumb. Sorry, I have to be honest with you. If you want to debate it people, you need to educate yourself first. [/quote] Sounds like we need to remove the artificial constraints then.[/quote]
