Nintendo Kid posted:A large city might be able to drop in 100 if buildings like these, there's your room for 400,000 people, larger than the population of the city proper of all cities below Minneapolis. You're not going to get so many more people moving to whatever cities to fill them all up and still lack housing in the rest of the city. I don't understand. How will you lack housing if you keep building housing units?

Jacobin had a write up addressing New York's housing cost issue and criticizes de Blasio's plan. Interesting read: https://www.jacobinmag.com/2014/10/de-blasios-doomed-housing-plan/

Prior to this I never knew that public housing could substitute private housing so easily for low and lower income citizens. Very interesting.

icantfindaname posted:It's a good idea just because it's easier and more efficient for the government just to own and run rent-subsidized housing for the poor than it is to give the subsidy money to private landlords or try to fix prices Is Sweden the only nation that has experimented with this? Any country currently doing this?

Curvature of Earth posted:82% of people in Singapore live in government-built housing. Of those, 95% own their unit under a 99-year lease. Wait what!? I was under the impression that Singapore was a neoliberal paradise...

I was under the impression that land prices were the reason housing is so high, not materials. Innovation has been going on for decades that have brought the costs of building housing down, but rent still remains high.

on the left posted:Land is expensive, but building dense concrete buildings on top of seismically unstable ground in a tropical climate with typhoons is more expensive than building the same building in NYC. Ahh. I was referring to in general, but I can see how it could be beneficial to some places.
