>>1944692Believe me they will try and they will fail because as a city you have to fight for the future and not just the past. More people would like to live together and closer to Transit than to rely on the car and it also helps lower rent prices, housing prices and value. It's why NIMBY's hate it, because "mah character" is codespeak for "Mah home values".
>>1944699It does fix it though but it's because Boomers keep watering shit down due to Concerned Control tactics that basically it only solves the problem slightly. If Boomers would get out of the way by not being greedy asshole skeletons of people and actually allow the housing to be built with midrises or some density for once, rents and mortgages would go down rapidly, and inventory would go back up so that way millennials, gen x and zoomers can afford a place to purchase and live in.
Also let me tell you something your troll mind could not take, when Boomers were purchasing houses it was because there was tons of inventory for it and because they zoned everything out for SFH and huge housing sizes it basically created artificial scarcity. Their wages were great yes, but the inventory and the availability was far more than usual and they had starter homes at 80k making 30$ an hour. You can thank the Boomers for the sky high rents, the deep inflation and also making sure their home valu- i mean character remained the same while everyone else suffers and is squeezed out. Their generation can be summed up as "fuck you got i mine"
