[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They don't believe in trickle-down housing. They believe in trickle-down gentrification, which is what their end goal is.[/quote] That's what you get if you don't build more. Cities in California have seen their black populations decline over the decades, because the housing costs have gone up. Much costlier to live in San Fran than DC. DC will be headed that way if they don't build more to handle the population growth. Amazon alone is bringing in 50k.[/quote] And yet there are zero examples of cities successfully building themselves to cheaper housing costs. It’s all so tiring, please stop. [/quote] Simple false. Seattle saw rent declines after a burst of building a few years ago. The weakness of your argument can be shown easily. Simply reverse it. Banning new construction, like you support, should bring rent down, then? Ok champ. Think about that. Supply and demand is a real thing.[/quote]
