Isn't Chicago more a case of declining population than building? Chicago shrunk ~25% from its peak population in the 1950s. It is lot less of a challenge to have affordable housing with declining population. Add in the massive white flight, and I'm not sure what the Chicago lesson is.
- 2trill2spill 7y agoMost but not all American cities have less people now then in the 1950s. But household sizes are much smaller and the amount of Housing units in most cities is actually higher then the 50s as a result of smaller household sizes. However many of these cities still have a housing affordability problem even though they have less people now.
