Eh. Building high income housing on a vacant lot might help bring down housing prices overall, but what you usually see is dense small units getting demolished so less dense but more expensive units can go up.
- RangerScience 10y agoI'm not seeing this. The old and extremely shitty apartments around me aren't too much smaller by square foot, and have a fraction of the height - everything new is at least four floors of apartments, compared with the two of all the older construction. Where are you seeing this?
- aetherson 10y agoYeah, I agree with you and disagree with your parent. Planning commissions around here (the Bay Area) are extremely sensitive to not losing total units, and with perhaps very, very, very rare exceptions do not approve projects that lower their net number of units. There are multiple overlapping institutions that enforce this.
