Reply to Rents high. What is your alternative to increasing housing supply? by paul-e-walnts

So here's the thing: increasing housing supply IS the answer.

BUT

Development should be "out" and not "up". Building up only creates new housing at the same fucking price points. We need to encourage more stock in the cheaper areas. Some kind of density tax maybe?

Personally, since I now work from home full-time, I get so many more things delivered. I used to be able to hit various shops on my way home but now I need to make an intentional choice to go out.

The only data that's still remotely accurate is from wastewater readings.

Yeah there's like 5 floors there that are sorta "bubbled" outward.

I'm pretty pumped for everything coming to that small area of downtown.

I think that corner between Newark and Brunswick is still a poorly maintained parking lot though? Would be really nice as a corner park as more stuff pops up around it.
