[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Much of ward 3 is zoned for SFH's only.  
If we allowed anyone who wanted to to build triplexes on any lot now zoned for SFH:
- Real estate prices would go way up.
- Costs of individual units would go way down.

It might take a few years for the 2nd to happen.

But we need more houses.  Many more houses.  It's the only way to make it cheaper to live here.[/quote]

It’s never - ever going to be cheaper to live here. Never never never. You are a shill for developers.[/quote]

Are you 12? Is that how you argue your points in real life? People who understand supply and demand are "shills"?

Jesus.

Seattle had an apartment boom 3 years ago and rent went down like 10%. Do your homework.[/quote]

Developers in Seattle made a mistake. They oversupplied. Developers in this area seem to be more cautious and prefer a shortage to a glut. It seems developers understand supply and demand and its effect on pricing even better than you do.[/quote]

That would demand that every single "developer" is in cahoots and a huge, thousand-person conspiracy.

Yeah, champ. That's it. These "evil" companies, who make money by building things (hint, different companies do the building and operating) are just sitting in their offices, doing nothing.

What are you smoking? Can I have some?

Nimby, homeowner, shills. This entire forum.[/quote]
