Serious question: did either city increase housing density significantly?

• tptacek 2y ago
  Yes, Minneapolis especially.

    Yes. It got shittier AND more expensive. Great win. Rents are also up, looks like the blog post from a propaganda rag is using data from a rental website. Edit: here's a chart with CPI and rent indexes: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=1BXUx https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=1BXUx

      When the price of something increases less than inflation, it has not gotten "more expensive". This feels like a straightforward point for an avowed capitalist who elsewhere on the thread railed against "commies".

  Yes - both are building like crazy but Minneapolis is the gold-standard: https://streets.mn/2023/11/13/chart-of-the-day-supply-and-demand-in-action/ https://streets.mn/2023/11/13/chart-of-the-day-supply-and-de... Rents have fallen in nominal terms.
