These three projects alone will add more than 10% to our population. They need to be approved by the City Council; likely a daunting task without major concessions by the respective developers. Of course, the Council needs to hear from the residents on these projects. Make sure you stay involved.Brian Donahuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12705682112476904502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394711926853801811.post-16131684647365222762015-02-22T23:53:36.370-08:002015-02-22T23:53:36.370-08:00Is there even any land left for new developments? ...Is there even any land left for new developments? The last council approved what, 3 major new luxury all-rental projects? Can the current council do anything about the Sherwin Williams or Nady projects or has that ship already sailed?Phil Epsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14394976765827265258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394711926853801811.post-61826404178798309012015-02-22T20:54:43.769-08:002015-02-22T20:54:43.769-08:00Nothing?

I mean this town, unlike our neighbors, has built far more than what has been identified as required by the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG), an increase of more than 50% over 10 years. You'd think given this dramatic increase given the tenets dictated by supply and demand, there would be an effect on prices. Unless you're positing that we need to massively step up our building rates. Where do you stop? 100 story towers on every parcel perhaps? Or maybe there's something else you're not considering. What you're saying is Emeryville must be a sacrifice zone to some meme resplendent with subterfuge obedience and allegiance to developer's bottom lines. Did YOU take econ 101? Economics is a science, with rationality inseparable at its core.

So to connect the dots for you, when developers build more housing, the price lowers. If you want to have a city that kicks poor people to the curb, then do stuff like initiate building moratoriums. Why is it leftists can never understand even the most basic tenets of economics? Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
