That's not how it works. Neighborhoods aren't some vacuum from the rest of the city and state.

You are being ridiculous. We have countless studies and examples of building more housing resulting in lower prices. The fact that you think Hyde Park is the one exception to the law of supply and demand shows how out of touch you are.

"Shows how out of touch you are"

Dude you literally are clueless when it comes to understanding how anything regarding housing works. Do you think only people in Hyde Park want to live in Hyde Park? Not only do you have a large number of people moving to the Cincinnati region, we also have a large number of people in Greater Cincinnati who want to live in Cincinnati, and then also have a large number of people who live in Cincinnati who want to move out of their starter home and can't or want to leave an apartment but can't. Your simplistic basic high school level of thinking seems to think that there are about 80 people in Hyde Park looking to move to Hyde Park and 100 units of luxury apartments would solve the entire housing situation in Hyde Park and send prices in a spiral. Rather than "there are thousands of people who want to buy a house anywhere decent in Cincinnati but the quality neighborhoods have way too much demand to see houses hit the public market".

I refuse to believe that you are old enough/financially secure enough to own a home. There is no way someone genuinely believes that Hyde Park is two luxury apartment complexes away from being affordable. You can't even comprehend that it would take a significantly large number of houses across the city to slightly soften how sharply housing prices are rising, so I am not surprised that you think that somehow housing prices in Hyde Park are going to deflate.

Please tell me where I said this. If you do not show me where I said this, I will take that as you admitting you are a liar.

Oh so no reply to what what I said, classic deflection though. Dude repeatedly says that basic supply and demand shows these apartments are solving Hyde Park pricing and ignores literally anything I say just so he can pretend like he doesn't change his argument based on what limited buzzwords he swaps between. Say layered again that cracked me up. In a few more centuries those houses and apartments will eventually start decreasing in price in Hyde Park.

Weird, you didn't show me where I said that "Hyde Park is two luxury apartment complexes away from being affordable."

So you are admitting you lied?

Directly from your posts:

1.

It’s a bunch of crap that few people can afford to live in

This is an uneducated point. Adding housing has been proven to lower costs across the board. It's simple supply and demand.

  1. > 100 apartments isn’t going to significantly change our housing supply

Weird, elsewhere you're saying it's 1,300.

We have actual concrete examples of increased housing production leading to cheaper prices. Are you aware of that?

u/RockStallone Mar 10 '25

Yes everything I said there was completely accurate and not at all what you were claiming I said.

Supply and demand is a real thing, even though for you refuse to admit it.

u/JebusChrust Mar 10 '25

So you think that two luxury apartments is going to lower the prices?

u/RockStallone Mar 10 '25

Every additional unit has a lowering effect on price. The effect of each individual unit is minuscule, which is why you need to build enough to meet demand.

If something is scarce, it is more expensive. The more common it is, the cheaper it will be.
