[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Continuing to build very high end homes does nothing to help those who need affordable housing. Whether it’s apartments, condos, duplexes pr townhomes. Everything they build is always targeted to luxury markets. What they need to build is basic nice but not luxury housing in areas that can support it. [/quote] Building high density apartments does nothing to address SFH prices because they are not fungible. High density apartments don't bring amenities to a community because the funding for the public infrastructure is underfunded by these developments. The high-priced chain restaurants and stores that can afford the mixed use spaces provide jobs but the apartment dwellers can't eat or shop there. Townhomes are close enough to SFH that they are somewhat fungible, but we don't build enough of those either. It's either McMansions or high density apartments. [/quote]
