lol no one lives in these areas. If you dont build more apartments, these new residents will simply kick you out of your apt cause most of us rent. Thats gentrification. Let them have their own housing so we dont get kicked out of our neighborhoods.

Sadly we live in a capitalist society and if we stop them from building new property, our landlords WILL get greedy as demand goes up they can simply raise your rent.

Unless youre a homeowner, you best believe demand for housing will increase your rent. Hence its good to increase supply so prices don’t increase too much.

If you purposely push down supply, prices will go up. Capitalism (developers, high income folks) are realizing Newark potential, hence the increase in rent. That’s capitalism.
