Reply to comment by Head_Acanthisitta256 in New York’s ‘zombie’ office towers teeter as interest rates rise by rootbeer_racinette

First of all prices are set on supply and demand if you didn’t know, and you shouldn’t expect a affordable house in a tiny island called Manhattan where demand is so high and space doesn’t exist. Investments are done in the basis of ROI, I’m sure you, like everyone else don’t work for free and expect profits form your investments like everyone else, it’s all money grab.

To really answer your question, the demand in NYC, specially in Manhattan is Soo high that any new developments are sold out almost immediately. The solution is to heavily upzone rest of the city where population density is only 1/4 of Manhattan because they have a lot of space for new developments

If calling the commodification of housing common sense makes you somehow smart then I definitely don’t want to follow your loser example.

You don’t have to follow any examples. Just understand how the economy works. You can’t even explain your policies why should anyone bother listening you.
