The irony is the state is shrinking and losing a quarter million high-income people per year. So who is the housing getting built for?
That’s a very good question. My answer would be: It’s getting built for the guys (and gals) who years ago figured out a way (’tax credit financing’, etc.) to bilk us of our tax dollars and make themselves quite wealthy and spoil a few corrupt/low IQ politicians with ‘campaign contributions’, gifts, travel, etc. It’s a very elegant virtue signaling scam (’We build affordable housing!”). My cat has more intellectual horsepower than the useful idiots involved in all of this, all the way from the Governor’s Office to the local City Councils and bureaucrats.
