I see this argument all the time: build up, create supply, and prices will fall. It's a common sense approach. But why do you think that will happen? It seems to me just as likely that if developers built high rises and rented 1 bedroom apartments for the current prices, they'd have no problem filling them at all.
My opinion: I think increasing supply would entail a drastic change in the landscape of the area to the point prices would fall because of decrease in demand to live there (horrible traffic, etc.).
- rconti 8y agoSimple economics, actually. It's virtually a fact. For one, Facebook employs a knowable number of people. It's not infinite (though it may seem like it). The problem is, these things are always done in half measures, and they'll never actually build enough to solve the problem, so you'll never see it proven.
