The video below, is an interesting story about the affordability issues of growing cities. The video concentrates on Seattle, but it can be easily applied to the downtown Boston real estate market.
Highlights from the real estate video:
- Young families are struggling to make it downtown cities because of “up zoning”.
- How city zoning segregates people from schools, work and each other.
- Our current zoning is a 20th Century problem to a 19th Century solution.
- Zoning dictates how cities are drawn up, does not take into account supply and demand
