Nah. Maybe it's different in India compared to Chicago. Here, the metro pop is mostly stable and even leans into decline. Despite the relatively stable pop, costs of having an abode still exploded for no tangible reason since the '10s. Everyone's looking to everyone else to ensure no dollar is missed. Same in every hood. Corpos set a new standard floor, singular owners price match since they're missing on bucks, corpo owners feel they're better than everyone else and price higher, and the piling on continues.
Building more housing is a step everyone agrees with. Loosening the rules is not the singular way to get affordability, especially when there is little to deter the current problems with housing costs.

Here, upzoning won't do much if they don't have anything to assist in keeping prices in check.
There's plenty of locations with units where the cost jumps make no legitimate sense. When you look at what everyone else is charging, theeeen it starts to make sense.The biggest assists to having affordable dwellings seems to be the city itself. There's little private help, as even the rent controlled entities are pricing up to make up bucks because "why not?".

Up-zoning = more housing = cheaper prices due to more supply
Look, people with money will live somewhere. When you free up the low quality supply that rich people will buy, then it gives entry level customers a chance to move into housing that rich people skipped over.
There is no such thing as affordable housing. There never was. People are focused on the branding of “affordable” and not the economics of what makes housing affordable.

America is cooked
It may result in cheaper builds for the builders, but dwellers more than likely won't see that reflective on their rent or mortgage.
Housing can be affordable. Fortunately, there are still programs for affordable housing for prospective buyers in Chicago in terms of ownership, as well as select programs based on income in the private area. Sadly, these are both few and far.
As learned in other industries, letting them run wild is not the play.
This actually isn't true, up zoning could = increasing price and increasing taxes for people who already live the area. Theirs no one size fit all when it comes to housing in America, the best course of action would be to remodel vacant homes with lower opportunity housing programs such as habitat. Yes more homes need to be built, but it needs to be attacked strategically, if not it will only hurt current homeowners
Its true. When theres a housing shortage only those that will afford it fill those gaps AND they wont be price sensitive.
The cities that have expanded supply have seen declines in rental prices.
What you seem to worry about is homeowners maintaining the value of their homes. Sorry you can’t do both.
I dont give a fukk about homeowners equity values. Nor should you. Homeownership can not be an investment vehicle. It’s not sustainable.
Dwellers will see decreases as well because landlords will make compromises to keep tenants if supply in the market increases
