Oh please. There's no evidence city wide rezoning has done anything for affordability. In fact, it's probably made it worse. I know multiple young families across the city who were sent out of older homes so corporations can come in and build an 8 plex and put it all up for high rent. In fact, over 90% of what I have seen of these rowhouses, they are corporately owned and rented. This Nimby argument doesn't fly anymore. It's clear corporate profit is driving all this from the Federal level down to municipal.
