- TulliusCicero 3y agoThey're not entirely wrong: if you make some area nicer, people with more money still start outbidding people with less money to live there. The solution is to fix the situation with housing: * Enable vastly more housing supply so there's less direct 'competition' with people competing for housing slots * Protect tenants' rights to housing stability; if you haven't broken any rules, you should generally be able to stay in your home
- ch4s3 3y agoYes, I too am pro building more housing. It's generally the people that call restoring parks or adding bike lanes "gentrification" that oppose building more housing.
