If they built luxury apartments, rich people would stop renting regular apartments, and the prices would go down

I know a millionaire who lived in a single wide trailer with two bedrooms for most of his life. Finally built a nice brick house in his 60s.

People like that are a rare breed. What did the guy do for a living?

[-] theangryseal@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Owned 7 gas stations.

He’s only recently started spending his money. He’ll be 70 in a couple months.

He spends it on vacations for his grandkids mostly.

The idea that creating more housing stock will lead to prices decreasing is still economically sound.
