Tokyo is the best example of a world class city that does housing the most right. Enough of the city is zoned as high density mixed use, and developers can build by right — as long as they follow the zoning rules, people can’t block it. Rents are $1000. Food is under $10 a meal. There are a ton of interesting small shops and stores because commercial rent is also low. Homeowners can run their own small business out of their houses by right
This is what the poor nimbys want, but poor nimbys are so stupid, really stupid, they constantly push for what landlords want instead. So busy trying to screw developers they screw themselves instead

Japan has had declining population for 13 straight years. If NYC lost 4M people and was falling every year, rents would fall here too
