Thanks for the update. Do you have a link for the study? 'cuz I think this listserv is drawing some conclusions that don’t match the data.
That’s interesting, and I wonder just how strong that trend is?
With that said, though, I don’t think this helps much with the DTS affordable housing debate. Induced demand and luxury housing unit occupancy changes will show gentrification (rich people moving in where poorer people already live). But I don’t think this hits back against OneWake’s messages. Their supporters are usually talking about displacement, which is a related but different effect:
Isn’t a 5- or 10-year timeframe more appropriate? After all, they’re trying to apply these conclusions to Downtown South, which probably won’t be finished until then (let alone nabbing a pro sports franchise). I feel like the authors are jumping the gun by only looking at what’s probably a 2-4 year range.
