Did I not mention artificial supply & demand ? Yes that is prime example & what history specifically are you referring to, this country’s history is progress , moving forwards not backwards , please pinpoint what history specifically you refer to as the architectural design is a cheap copy of European counterparts & is as my doctor likes to say “Unremarkable” even in extended observation.

Becuase we have too many people sleeping on the street , crazy how the thought of housing as an art et nostalgic aesthetic can be prioritized over the functional objective of housing which is protecting humans from the elements , the artificial supply & demand is already enough we don’t need ridiculous historical zoning clauses preventing the city from rightfully advancing into the future. This society has become too nostalgic for the past because we are so tragically depressed about our future & it shows lol
