It's crazy to me how expensive it is to live in LA compared with how little i see new construction. The magnitude of the issue really crystalized in my mind when i was talking to a friend who lived in Tokyo, and he mentioned he was paying $900 a month for his flat. It's 40% of what I pay. Housing can't cost this much in cities that people are expected to occupy.
- evancox100 5y agoI visited SF ~5 years ago and, coming from Dallas at the time, was shocked at how little construction there was. I think through that whole week I probably saw one sub-skyscraper sized building under construction. Someone from there was like "what are you talking about, haven't you seen downtown?", and I realized how warped their expectations were.
