If they built luxury apartments, rich people would stop renting regular apartments, and the prices would go down
A lot of places in the us are experiencing a gluten in high end housing... https://archive.is/20250110182457/https://www.wsj.com/real-estate/commercial/the-u-s-has-more-fancy-apartments-than-it-is-able-to-fill-f7bca968
Rich people like cheap apartments too, lol.
The idea that creating more housing stock will lead to prices decreasing is still economically sound.
I know a millionaire who lived in a single wide trailer with two bedrooms for most of his life. Finally built a nice brick house in his 60s.
People like that are a rare breed. What did the guy do for a living?
Owned 7 gas stations.
He’s only recently started spending his money. He’ll be 70 in a couple months.
He spends it on vacations for his grandkids mostly.
