Your solution to the rent crisis to to tear down housing and replace it with parking lots?

Hahahaha well If you’re just gonna cherry pick it like that, then that’s how it sounds. The rest of that paragraph explains itself. I said tearing down the houses will make rent so high and out of reach for regular people that it’s gonna force city hall or whoever to step in and do something to regulate rent otherwise the masses will have to relocate out of the city and once their rent revenue moves away, then they’ll start to make changes to draw us back in.

I never called this a solution either. It’s just discussing and thinking out loud. Let’s face it they don’t care how high rent goes they’ll always just keep the space empty until someone who can afford it comes along and moves in. Happens all the time in Boston

The rest of the paragraph just advocates rent control, which doesn't work. It just benefits landlords and existing tenants.

So you’re saying existing tenants should be forced to move out?

I didn't even come close to saying that. Why are you trying to put words in my mouth? Sorry for pointing out your "thinking out loud" was not a solution. Hope you have a good one
