Absolutely wild behavior. This is peak Dem politics, where they think paying off “special” groups is the whole game

These prefab models never ever work. Margins in real estate are paper thin and dirt is the most valuable resource.
wasting the potential of the dirt in order to fit your rigid prefab process doesn’t make any sense

Wow that is bold. Holding for rent might be ok. Still risky as hell in this market

I’d love to know the breakdown on spend for that, the website says it’s been in planning for two years
Doing anything for two years sounds very expensive

Wow seems kinda brutal even at 6 bed x 700$/mo per bed that’s only 4200$/mo gross rent with a ton of management work

If I were to guess this is an IBC to IRC issue. Fee simple townhomes will be cheaper to build than apartments, no pressurized single stair, no elevator, no fire department water hookups and they get an easy exit of just listing these as normal townhomes for sale
And you can use your existing subs

I’d totally believe that. Sales tax alone is 10.03% of _total_ revenue on construction, then we have 1.8% transfer tax on _total_ revenue from selling the properties.
And that isn’t even accounting for things like permit and inspection fees or impact fees

Undoing the slow grind of regulatory capture. For all the talk of billionaires being the problem I think much of the blame lies with the comfortable voting upper middle class.
Rich and comfortable on the current status quo why not spend a little time and money to ensure your comfort is entrenched?

Let’s all sign up for comment, and let them know we see exactly what they’re doing. It’s pulling the ladder of opportunity up behind them, it’s mansion preservation for rich boomers it’s NIMBYism and self indulgence at the expense of a growing city hiding behind the guise of “historic preservation”
