this is sort of wrong though, there is a measurable increase in positive economic activity with increased density. you can increase housing in an area in a way that doesn’t mess with people’s existing home evaluations, at least in urban enough areas
That's interesting, are there comparable examples? Like, I'm sure China could do this by telling everyone what home values will be for the next 3 years while they build literally millions of housing units, but I'm skeptical we could double the density of SF without cratering its housing values or significantly changing its boundaries.
