I agree but want to say everyone jumps to homeless. There are a ton of normal people that are suffering from high rent, lack of options, etc. We need to think about way more than homeless.
Building more apartments makes it easier for tenants to get a good price, because there are more providers. Supply and demand.
It also makes it easier to buy a single-family home if would-be competitors had the option to get the apartment downtown that they’d prefer.
Even people who have their own housing taken care of, and aren’t looking for a new place would find they have a nicer life when they don’t have to step around the homeless when they go out.
Most people think homeless as jobless, etc. But when we have people with entirely ok jobs that can’t afford rent (see people living in their cars), addressing basic normal housing addresses both for a startling amount.
