America's big cities are turning into housing catastrophes. If we want to fix this mess, we should try and copy Tokyo.

Lower the prices

Build more, build up.

A neighborhood grouped up over here in Chicago rejected an all new affordable oriented complex, yet approved the luxury townhouses pitch that houses significantly less at presumably unobtainable prices. Yeah, they'll feel like they're sharing succes until the new property tax bills comes.

Seems even when the city gives you a good plan, you can count on people to be stupid and shoot themselves in the foot.

Uhhh i.mea. Japan is also in a fukking long term recession / depression for the last 15 to 20 years ...

so saying they have the "answer" is not really realistic since young people are going outside of Japan to find jobs and work

america is not going to fix this, it's too late. japan literally had to plan society from the start around the very small about of livable land on their islands, the US was founded and built on expansionism - from large plantations to the continual westward march to span from ocean to ocean, america was about sprawl and land, it never built cities to become what they have in the mid 20th century to today, and now with the money made from our shift to cities, yall are blind optimists to think that sweeping measures are going to be put in place to reconfigure cities.

It’s alreaady started. Suburbs in KC have started building more apartment buildings and walkable living zones.

Shyt's pure greed after a certain point.

Shhh...let OP push his gentrification in peace

Most Coli posters haven't caught on to him yet

I have because I know the accounts he posts here... they're hyper liberal white guys that want Black people out of those neighborhoods so they can build more luxury developments.

If I'm lying, check the accounts he posts and what they tweet and retweet.

You know how I know? Because I actually live in NYC and grew up here and have watched the gentrification happen in real time.

You both are completely stuck on stupid. @shonuff just made an argument that made no sense with this thread. his only point was to say, "American housing is fine. Who cares about homelessness."

And @ExodusNirvana is continuing down his reactionary trajectory by consigning it.

I'm not.

And I'm not arguing with you about this particular thing because you've gone too far down the left wing rabbit hole to see the flaws it in.

I'm living it. You post about it on The Coli.

Be well.

no breh, you are. You've become reactionary.

IDK what post you are referring to regarding @bnew and gentrification, but the points about creating high rises and promoting real affordable housing and removing zoning restrictions are not based on getting lower to middle-income people out of cities. It doesn't even make sense to push that. And the bozo you cosigned made a random point that had nothing to do with housing. shyt, in America, those young people that are unemployed would be homeless, which is what you all want?

If you wanna be a reactionary, go for it, but own it.
