Um. The entire post. Takeaway: density doesn't cause affordability.
Examples: Nob Hill and Telegraph Hill in SF, Wilshire Corridor in LA, and downtown SD. All examples of expensive areas where housing densities are high. Manhattan is quite dense and nobody asserts that it is affordable.
Affordability is a separate issue from density.
- SamReidHughes 13y agoAll you've done is tell a story about how upscale apartments cost more per square foot than traditional apartments. > The takeaway is that until everyone who can pay ridiculous prices has housing, prices are going nowhere but up in SF. Decent middle-class apartments with a couple bedrooms in Mountain View are $3k+. So you're saying that adding more housing will make prices stop going up. So why do you simultaneously claim that building more housing won't bring prices down?
