    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.

            But you’re kinda missing the point the other poster is making.

        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.
