      I want to build multi family homes is very different than I want to live in multi families homes.

        not really, wanting to build something means there’s a demand yknow?

          I think it’s less about the demand FOR multifamily, and more just housing in general, and multifamily generally being lower cost then individual.

          There is a demand for affordable housing

            Yeah I mean it’s not that I contributed to demand for a Honda Civic, but I did contribute to the demand for an affordable car, which is why I didn’t buy a Lambo. Don’t you think it’s splitting hairs to say that there isn’t demand for Civics, but for cars cheaper than Lambos? Seems like a distinction without a difference.

          Not entirely. Some people like the idea of things but when it comes to the crunch, they say “no, multifamily homes are not for me”.

            please 😭 i am speaking in the simple economic sense of supply and demand. i would adore to live in a sprawling european castle, but i don’t participate in demand for that housing situation because i can’t afford it.

            plsplspls 🫠 with peace and love get over your need to pick a fight and stop trying to “uhm actually” me; i do in fact know what i am talking about here.
