This is probably a correct take but not really immediately actionable. It's up the the residents of the city to decide they want to change their neighborhoods.

This is probably a correct take but not really immediately actionable. It's up the the residents of the city to decide they want to change their neighborhoods. And most new construction ends up market rate which takes a while to free up housing supply for the affected group (which is at the bottom of the market.)
I'm a yimby fwiw, but as new york has shown you can have both density and an affordability issue—density isn't a a cure-all.
And what's perhaps most annoying is that certain minority activist groups also actively block new development. The mission hasn't been developed much, but it's not for lack of trying.
