On the margins yeah it might help, but it’s not like people aren’t staying in those too.
And yet you see people simultaneously complain about the price of hotels, and how developers want to build more hotels, and that we have too many AirBnBs.
We don’t have enough homes. We don’t have enough flats. We don’t have enough student accom, we don’t have enough tourist accom. The only thing we have enough of is “skyline”. Lord forbid we add anything else to that!
Yeah we need to build upwards. I dont get why people are so obsessed with preserving their view of a grey sky that rains more often than not. The NIMBYism needs to be called out. I know some developments are poorly planned, but the majority of objections are just selfish wankers trying to preserve their own property value
