Apologies, on that I agree. What we don't seem to have, is a willingness to build and offer these places.
replyThat is, I was specifically saying there is a lack of appetite to offer these. Not that there is lack of appetite to buy/rent them.
I think so too. I'm an early 30s that would love to pay a fraction of the current market rates for a Tokyo-sized unit in SF.
replyWhen I was younger, this was only doable in larger US cities if you had roommates. And was quite common in that scenario.
replyDoesn't change that it would be nice to have such offerings without having to navigate all of the extra stuff that comes from having roommates.
