Oh yes, with the 5 story limit of the height of the buildings - and a year over year growth of 1%.
Super crowded.
- jeffbee 3y agoThe CAGR is 0.1%, 0.6%, or 0.4%, over 10, 20, or 30 years respectively.
- bobthepanda 3y agoCAGR is misleading because it tracks population when what is more important is household growth. Household size has fallen from 2.63 in 1993 to 2.51 today, which doesn’t sound like a lot, but means you need 5% more houses to hold the same number of people.
- jeffbee 3y agoYes, and there is a general misunderstanding, mostly a willful misunderstanding among older, established homeowners, of the fact that you need to build more housing just to keep the population the same, especially when older people are squatting on empty family-sized homes.
- Someguy1098 3y agoWouldn't 5 story limit's on buildings just make it feel more crowded by constraining the growth?
- justinator 3y agoI don't follow. "It feels crowded because not everyone can live there?".
- Someguy1098 3y agoIt feels crowded because instead of being able to increase density vertically the density has to be increased horizontally.
- jlarocco 3y agoHence super expensive. I don't know why our city council and planning boards waste so much time on "affordable housing" when it's clearly not fixable. The economics don't make sense to have a highly desirable place to live with a highly constrained housing supply and also make it affordable. The affordable housing plans here basically boil down to a lottery.
