[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is like saying apartment buildings don’t improve housing costs because an apartment building is worth more than a SFH. Just absolutely a silly thing to say. [/quote] Housing cost discussions always conflate a lot of things, among them houses available for rent vs. houses available for purchase. We have a severe shortage of units available for purchase in this area. The shortage of units available for rent is a more isolated problem, mostly focused on units affordable for low income households. The meager growth we’ve seen in housing supply has been almost entirely in the rental segment. Your argument is silly because it fails to make this distinction. Apartment buildings improve rental affordability but do nearly nothing for purchase affordability. Likewise, ADUs help rental affordability (if we get enough of them) but actually hurt purchase affordability. [/quote] DP. So change "apartment building" to "condo building".[/quote]
