The real benefit of new housing in markets with high demand is that it keeps rich people from pricing middle class people out of their homes and middle class people from pricing working class and poor people out of their homes. Basically, it stops 'the great filtering' effect. So as silly as it seems, even 200 new luxury apartments can help keep low income residents from being displaced.

With services like this I am always actively negotiating my bill / service speed when the contract is up. There is no way in hell I’m paying the listed rate on the ads they post when I see sales people trying to get more leads with better deals. And I’m in Canada where it’s heavily monopolized by a few companies.

These units aren’t subsidized. The builder has to offer them to get them built. We really need to asses the effects of things like Airbnb on our housing supply. There isn’t enough space in many regions to increase stock without building high density developments.

Government (people) could require monetary payments to benefit all instead of subsidized housing for households in the 70th+ income percentile. But all those middle class people who can't afford a house think they have a chance at winning this lottery.
