I disagree because those that have been living there for, say, 20 years get priced out. Their landlord sees an opportunity to make more money and increases the rent accordingly. Where are these individuals to go?

And what do you think happens when you don’t build more housing?
They still get priced out.
Unless you plan on keeping a neighborhood intentionally shitty so that nobody wants to live there.

Then why can’t affordable housing be built? The developers can receive subsidies or tax breaks or whatever.

So who entitles someone to live in a neighborhood?
Just how long does one need to live in a neighborhood before they are entitled to live somewhere?
