    They are everywhere! And let me tell you it sucks to live there. Nothing but broken promises and broken gates. Well that and a high cost rent. But img in my area there are dozens going up. No one is building starter homes, which is what I need ATM. I guess this is life now.

      Starter homes only worked before because land was cheap. If you’re in a place that’s building condos, it’s because land isn’t affordable anymore. In fact, the entire story of US car dominance can basically be explained by “look we have basically infinite land”… Until they didn’t.
