[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In this thread: NIMBYs gonna NIMBY. It's actually entertaining.[/quote]

And YIMBY shills spamming disinformation about prices lowering. Housing and rental prices are controlled by a cartel. They will never go down. They want to upzone everything because it fattens their margins. Period. [/quote]

Yeah, no.  :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: The only people making tons of money are homeowners, idiot.[/quote]

You should have purchased a house, sport.  Now you are mad and want to ruin it for the people that did, we see you.[/quote]

DP. I own a house, which I bought. I also understand that "I've got mine" is not the basis for a good housing policy.[/quote]

Same. Would love to see a housing policy based on increasing SFH in the county instead of eliminating them. [/quote]

I don't know where you live, but here where I live, in Montgomery County, Maryland, nobody is proposing to eliminate SFHs.[/quote]

Be honest, now. [b]Won’t some SFH be eliminated[/b] and replaced by multiplexes? Won’t that reduce supply of SFH? It’s pretty simple math. Now tell me what happens to prices when you reduce supply of something [/quote]

You sound like the Daleks on Dr. Who.

Will some uniplexes be replaced by multiplexes? Yes, that is the whole point. Will it reduce the supply of uniplexes? Yes. Will it increase the supply of housing units? Yes. Is it good housing policy? Yes. Is it good land use policy? Yes. Is it good transportation policy? Yes. Is it good environmental policy? Yes. Is it good fiscal policy for the county? Yes. Will it increase property values for people who currently own uniplexes? Yes.[/quote]

That’s a lot of words to say your idea is going to make a SFH less attainable for more people but thanks for being honest about that. [/quote]

It's good for people's ability to afford housing, people's ability to get around, water quality, air quality, the global climate, the county's fiscal bottom line, and property values for people who currently own SFHs, but it will also make SFHs more expensive for the subgroup of people who want them, so who's to say whether it's good or not?[/quote]
