From the article:
"The trend, however, is indisputable: Greater compactness increases housing costs."
The 'compactness index' they're talking about is centered around density (and the impacts of that on transportation, health, travel distances, etc.).
And my 'argument' is not about the negative effect of density--it's that I don't believe that density makes housing more affordable.
- jeffbee 6y agoIt doesn't really matter that the article duplicates your logical error. The evidence in the article is much more ambivalent than you suggest.
- bluGill 6y agoDensity and affordability are independent of each other. Affordability is about supply and demand now. Density is about supply only and says nothing about demand.
