Reply to comment by Head_Acanthisitta256 in Mayor throws support behind Innovation QNS as potential rejection looms by Groundbreaking_Tank2

When vacancies are low, rents go up. When you build more housing, you get more vacancies, and rents go down.

No matter how much mental gymnastics you try, you will never get around that fact. Stop being a NIMBY.

When you inject more units with a high avg monthly rent, rent in the neighborhood will go up.

No matter how much mental gymnastics you try, you will never get around that fact. Stop being a greedy developer.

The data proves you wrong again.
If you can put all your brain cells together you should try this thing called "reading".

LMAO! What facts??? There are thousands of new units built in western queens and the rents have skyrocketed because of them. None of this so called data shows what’s going on there. Keep your developer talking points, don’t need them.
