"Don't improve the neighborhood because it will raise housing demand" as a premise is a powerful acid that would dissolve all kinds of things that have nothing to do with zoning. Is it bad to build better parks? To renovate schools? Have safer streets? https://t.co/IRZz8tzVJb https://t.co/2tqOY701aH — PolitiTweet.org

Now I think it is sadly probably not the case that this works in general. Several empirical studies find that ⬆️ supply leads to ⬇️prices. But more importantly, if a project is so good that it raises demand that much you should do the project! https://t.co/IRZz8tznTD — PolitiTweet.org

Housing scarcity creates acute problems for the unhoused, the displaced, or even just those who move away from neighborhoods they love in order to get space to raise kids. But it also perpetuates this upside-down "good things are bad" politics. https://t.co/IRZz8tzVJb — PolitiTweet.org
