What's old is new again.
When the next demographic buys their first homes, they, too, are likely to want to live in the neighborhood into which they bought, and not into one with an increasing population density.
- woolvalley 8y agoNot necessarily. Other cities build more than others. It's a function of built in incentives and legal laws the enable the bad behavior, and california has a particularly bad case of it. For a quick comparison, look at seattle vs sf. Seattle had similar issues and dealt with it in a far better manner, not wanting to become another SF. They still have issues, true, but the price increase hasn't been as dramatic, and highrises were allowed to be built.
