[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GGW is very much a pro-developer website. They push anything that supports greater urbanization and density, which aligns nicely with the real estate industry's goals.[/quote]

Being YIMBY is not being pro-developer.  But yeah, "developer" is not a dirty word if you're interested in increasing affordable housing and livable cities.  [/quote]

This is developers' new spin, and it's just a bunch of double talk. Increasing density will only make the city more expensive and less livable. [/quote]

Increasing density adds more units, thus supply to try to come close to matching demand, so yes, more affordable. And adding that density means adding more tax base, which is necessary to ensure there is enough money for things that make the city livable, like decent schools.[/quote]

We’ve seen a lot of density added - 13000 new units alone in the last fiscal year according to CBRE - yet they mostly seem to be high end studios and one bedrooms.  When does the affordability start ? :shock: [/quote]
