Do you think Art Agnos would notice how bad this sounds if he heard, “How big do we want our country to be and for whom?” ? https://twitter.com/ericmkingsbury/status/990292391373422592 …
You’re not actually limiting by wealth. The barriers to housing actually make the existing housing stock even more of a scarce ultra-luxury commodity that is only accessible to an even more limited, narrow and wealthier class of people than the alternative.

If the city had actually bothered to invest in better transit and more housing capacity over the last forty years, we would have a more diverse region than we have today.

100% agreed on this.

Absolutely the scarcity ensures that the wealthiest are the only ones with access, but the system is literally designed that way. The burden always falls on those with the least to sacrifice the most. That’s capitalism. Generating wealth comes with no responsibility.

Let’s imagine the burden was shared evenly. When demand rises, it shifts the burden onto the wealthy to be disproportionately negatively impacted. A 100% means-based housing model would switch us from regressive to equal. Imagine a progressive housing model.
