Perhaps it's not dense enough compared to how economically valuable living there is. Otherwise, why would people live in an overpriced city instead of a cheaper one? Why do you live there? Surely for most residents, it's because of high-paying jobs.
- lentil_soup 6y agoMost people live here because they are from here, local jobs are definitely not high paying. Could they move to a cheaper city? Probably, but that has big life implications, people might take the economical hit to be able to stay close to home. What I mean to say is that in this particular case it's not just a density problem. There's problems with tourism, there's problems with speculation, there's problems with general inequality. So the solution is not just build more, it's way more nuanced.
