    I mean, the same could be said for the larger regional areas of the US surrounding the cities that are experiencing the fastest increase in housing prices. But the problem, like you said, is people want to live in a small area that is already occupied, and not always where the available houses are (when they’re available and not being hoarded by “investors”)

    I know that here in the Boston area what we need is more housING but not more housES. Build up, not out. And make vertical housing actually appealing by building walkable neighborhoods with access to good public transit so cars aren’t a necessity.

    It’s a big change but not an impossible one

      Yeah that would be nice. No one wants to live in apartments here because they are usually in the city. If you we’ve to raise a family, it’s not easy in a city.
