Housing is particularly expensive in dense cities. That's the market's way of saying that Americans want more dense cities than there are currently available.
- nemo44x 2y agoHousing has always been expensive in cities. But the vast majority of people don’t want to live in them. The proof is how people left the cities after WW2 because technology made suburban living viable. Of course some people want to live in the city. I did for years and paid good money for a prime address. But like hundreds of millions of people I don’t now because priorities change.
