Article is subscription locked, so I just read the (patronizing and reductive) headline.
The problem never has been lack of housing. The problem has always been lack of land. You can only build new homes on existing land and nobody wants to repurpose existing land to build new houses. Where exactly in NYC can we build new houses?
And what houses are we talking about? Single family houses that are not a good use of land? Huge multifamily complexes that further stress the crumbling infrastructure?
Housing costs are not my top priority for my QOL. Building more houses will likely impact me only in negative ways.
And again, the article is subscription locked so all I can do is read the headline.
