It doesn’t work unless there is currently repressed demand for living in that abandoned town because not enough housing or other factors. No one is complaining

It doesn’t work unless there is currently repressed demand for living in that abandoned town because not enough housing or other factors.
No one is complaining about a housing shortage today in buffalo which used to have twice as much housing stock as it does today, because the demand simply isn’t there now.
- bombcar 8mo agoExactly - induced demand is just a misnomer/misunderstanding. "Pent-up demand" would be a much better way to explain it - but that would reveal that at some point the demand ceases; even SF has some limit - once all 12 billion people live there, demand will level off.
