And alleviating pressures on older buildings. More housing is rarely a bad thing. Luxury just means new. Rich people will live wherever regardless. More housing choice for everyone.

More housing choice if you are willing pay 50% of your take home pay unless you want to live in a crime or gang infested area of the city. Those older buildings have not lowered their rent for decades and nor has these new "luxury" apartments no matter how much got built. How much is Bozzuto paying you to spout zombie talking points?

Lol. I mean, if by that you mean understanding basic supply and demand principles, then I guess I'm doing it pro bono. Keep living in fantasy land thinking housing supply works with fairy dust.

It's not basic supply and demand principles. It's the real estate version of trickle down economics. We all know how well that worked out.

Sounds like you've taken your own advice.

Yes yes, whatever. The rest of us know building more housing and removing those barriers are better for the people you think you're helping. Just stand to the side while the rest of us pass you by.

If you're going to shill for luxury developers, you at least should ask for a paycheck. With that, you might be able to actually help people.

Developers don't need to directly pay anybody -- our nation's most expensive colleges and universities are churning out legions of people that unthinkingly believe this stuff.
