Using Houston alone, NYC is not #1 in raw numbers and in 2025 so far is only permitting 60% as many units as a CBSA 3x smaller than it.
I don’t know if HOU/DFW are the CBSAs pumping out the most units nationally though, they just came to mind.
- redwood 1y agoHouston in Dallas who can simply expand externally into new land are hardly a proxy for a land real estate constrained city like New York that has to build vertically And how is their mass transportation going? As if houses alone are all that matters.
- aegypti 1y agoSurely it's not so simple when New York City is building more housing supply that essentially any other American city can clearly see from there that NYC is #1 in terms of raw numbers of new housing units Are the original goalposts, housing supply alone is an important factor in the price of housing though fwiw.
