In reply to Felix.

So, what would your approach to affordable housing be?

You can't force private developers to build anything that they don't want to, and they don't want to build affordable housing. If you simply ban luxury apartments in the city they'll be building luxury apartments in the suburbs instead. And meanwhile some of the people that would live in those luxury apartments are outbidding people for the supply of existing apartments. And we won't have any NOAH to come online in the decades to follow. What if people told the Drake Hotel developers not to build it because they needed affordable housing instead of luxury housing, and were opposed gentrification, back in 1926?

As government trying to build affordable housing, that got us Cabrini Green.
