The law, in its majestic equality, forbids all men to sleep under bridges, in SROs, or on lots smaller than 10,000 sqft-the rich as well as the poor.

Can we do anything about Vermont's housing crisis? Most obstacles to affordable housing construction are local! Let's reform land-use regulations, allow denser infill construction in our town centers, and incentivize walk-able mixed use communities. brookings.edu/policy2020/big…

I do think that this speaks to the limitations of a liberalized, for-profit housing market's ability to bring down housing prices. This is the time to speed up construction to bring prices down, not slow down and build less, but with profit on the line that doesn't pencil

Fishtown apartment boom was so successful in saturating the market that developers switched to building luxury rowhomes lmao.

@Blizzard_Advsry @himbo_urbanist @DakarAdana In this case, their loan terms prohibit them from cutting rent from whatever class A commercial was at the time of financing. Cutting rent effectively isn’t an option so market east stays mostly vacant

The bus from nyc to Philly and Philly to nyc be so ghetto!!! I wanna do amtrack, but paying $200 one way is insane. I can’t even live tweet what the person in front of me is saying. It’s so inappropriate, and the bus driver won’t tell him to shut up.

Prices aren't sufficient statistics for welfare, but I don't know how you can look at negative real rent growth and say "this isn't good enough".

Philly doesnt have a liberalized housing market. Philly accidentally on purpose created a housing glut in Fishtown while maintaining the centrally planned housing supply elsewhere. Real rents were negative in Fishtown and positive in centrally planned neighborhoods.

@Blizzard_Advsry @himbo_urbanist @DakarAdana I think there’s a lot of complications due to financing. Like our building can’t cut the rent in commercial spaces, because it was financed with a CDO, so if they reduce the rent it would trigger refinancing. Better to keep spaces vacant than have to come up with a few million $s

@himbo_urbanist @DakarAdana Living in a building with a bunch of vacant retail on the ground floor, and I’d much rather have lower rents and less empty space

@DakarAdana @himbo_urbanist Not many fewer units either, just no parking or commercial spaces and presumably slightly smaller units

@ninthhostage @jongeeting @JohnnyWalsh__ Could maybe do one of these lots of the north side of Broad and Girard. CMX-4 Was thinking the big lot at ridge and spring garden + BRS spring garden reopening, but that one is CMX-2.5

@jongeeting @JohnnyWalsh__ Screen alone is 90ft - which I think eliminates most of the zoned land in the city outside of CC off the bat without a variance, rezoning, or grandfathered structure

@coryfromphilly Just seems odd to say there was 100 years of scarcity in south philly given the history of housing prices and demand in south philly. I guess I'm just being nitpick though.

As an example of how govt regulation has stifled how much housing can be built, my old neighborhood in South Philly has had the same legally allowed density since 1933. Nearly 100 years of artifical housing scarcity. What is the PHIMBY answer to this? Can they justify it?
Cory in San Francisco@coryfromphilly

@BrandonHarami Public housing wasn't A Thing until maybe the Great Depression and then in the post war period. By this time, municipalities all over the country had already limited how much housing could be built, generally freezing in place the existing density of cities.
