They’ve been building tons of apartments in Davis. Tons. I’m afraid of oversupply if the college becomes less popular.

  Per censusreporter.org, Davis had about 29,500 homes in 2019: https://censusreporter.org/profiles/40000US22420-davis-ca-urbanized-area/ https://censusreporter.org/profiles/40000US22420-davis-ca-ur... Per California HCD, Davis issued permits for about 1350 homes between 2013 and 2020, or roughly, Davis grew by about 4.5% in that time frame. California grew its population by about 6% between 2010 and 2020 and the total housing stock by about 5.2% which puts Davis at just about average in terms of construction, far from "tons." https://www.census.gov/library/stories/state-by-state/california-population-change-between-census-decade.html https://www.census.gov/library/stories/state-by-state/califo...

    To be fair, UCD has built a ton of new student housing in that time frame, including the entire West Village complex. That may be what they are thinking of, even though I don't think that would be included in the town of Davis numbers.

    I lived in Davis. Have you ever even been to Davis? They are building gigantic monoliths of apartment buildings everywhere you look. Maybe check your sources again.

      This is hilarious to me. "Oh, the data says I'm wrong? Well, check your data again I guess. What, provide my own data? As if!"

        Your data probably excludes student housing. You made a mistake
