But who wants to live in apartments? It's better than being homeless but it's hardly a solution. People want single-family housing, and it is possible to build tens of millions of houses within practical commute distances of big cities. Also, we can build new cities!
- weeksie 2y agoWhat a weird argument. There are many, many apartments in New York that people want to live in so badly that they'll pay millions upon millions of dollars to do so.
- notepad0x90 2y agoand they want to live there because they don't like near-by houses? I'd imagine single family housing in manhattan would cost 10x what an apartment costs. Even brown stone housing in new york is more expensive than similarly sized/located apartments (if you call brown stones proper housing even).
- weeksie 2y agoIt's more expensive because the tax treatment is better. You really have no idea what you're talking about.
