I’m also concerned about the certainty this will dump more fuel on the fire of a) poorly planned urban sprawl that is destroying green space and farms and increasing reliance on cars and corporate institutions, and b) gentrification that is pushing lower income residents out of their neighborhoods and increasing the inventory of insanely overpriced, low occupancy dwellings. In both cases, developers and politicians win but the problems largely remain.
- hypeatei 2y agoGood point. In general it just seems like a lot of nuance is lost in these "need housing at all costs" initiatives. On paper we get a bunch of housing but in reality there are tons of people taking advantage of all the money flowing in and doing shitty work without considering external factors like the ones you mentioned. Obviously not every builder is bad, but I certainly don't trust a business made for profit to not cut corners.
