Because that makes no fucking sense in any way, when you continually bulldoze the homes of poor people to make room for housing for rich people while making almost no new affordable housing all that does is displace people

How does taking away from the poor giving them anything other than a prettier aesthetic they can't afford?


the overall housing stock is going to up because the height requirement allows for there to be more total units

the number of affordable housing units is small relative to the overall demand for affordable housing

therefore the new housing stock will be bought up by the rich, allowing the overall cost of housing to go down as they reallocate themselves into luxury units

I understand it is a difficult process to understand relative to the people who are losing their housing now. But there is plenty of research to show this is the case, and the places where displacement is a smaller problem are the places where they allow new market rate housing to be built. It's not coincidental.

And that's not a good fucking thing is my point, rich asshole coming and buying everything up only makes shit worse for the poorest of poor who are getting the shaft in all this as their comes get bulldozed to make room for fucking condos


It is going to happen whether you like it or not. They would make things even worse for the poor if you didn't allow them to build condos. What is your alternative solution to the affordability crisis?

You can take your dronish Wall st rhetoric and shove up your ass. I won't go out of my way to defend the mega rich shitting in the ultra poor like you're doing. They didn't have to put nothing but housing for rich people where housing for poor people once lived, they could have put reasonably priced apartments and houses after tgey demolished all that damaged housing after Katrina but NOPE that doesn't line the pockets of the crooks who run this city so condos condors condos as far as the eye can see


It isn't droning anything. You can only maintain this opinion because you are discounting my actual personal experience with this because you are incapable of resolving the cognitive dissonance that maybe someone who disagrees with you isn't just a shill for the rich. Sorry, dude.
