Meh, flood the market with housing and watch speculation end. Build a low-rise on top of every commercial lot. Every year commit to building even more housing than the last. Paint over parking lots and 6-lane roads with apartment complexes. Even Airbnb will stutter under the surplus of cheap housing.
But nah, instead we get everything but that.
- busterarm 3y agoPeople act like you can just build housing everywhere and in abundance. There's so much infrastructure around it that you need to build, like sewer and power capacity.
- calgoo 3y agoIt’s also Florida, you stomp your foot and you almost hit water, so building low/high rises everywhere is mostly out of the question. Anyway, give it 20 to 30 years and it will all be under water anyway.
- hombre_fatal 3y agoYes, that is part of development and should be, if it were competent, one of the objectives of US government: to let people house themselves. You might as well say "you're forgetting that building also need walls".
