Remember the early days of Covid when people were speculating on N95 masks and hand sanitizer by buying up the scarce supply and selling it for inflated prices; but then we made so many masks and so much hand sanitizer that you could get them super cheap? We could do that for housing if we wanted.

Whether or not it’s trickle-down depends entirely on what gets built, doesn’t it. It all comes down to how much one values class diversity, which I think is essential to a thriving, interesting, and equitable city. Free-marketeerism is antithetical to that.
