  1. If profit is your motive then you shouldn’t become a property developer. But if you are in it to provide quality affordable properties to those who need them then I wish you luck.

  2. We need to take away responsibility from private property developers, not give them more. You can never trust someone who’s goal is profiting to do things in the best interest of the community. I don’t think anything inside city limits should be private development, it’s a space shared by everyone and so should be run by everyone.

  3. Building quality buildings is not the goal of property developers, profiting is, all we get in America is the bare minimum.

  4. I don’t think any property development should be left to private entities within city limits, it’s a shared space, and everyone should have a say in how it’s developed. You will never be able to trust someone who’s goal is profit to do things in the best interest of the community.

  5. Unfortunately this is true, I’m getting into urban planning and was hoping to build a non profit property development company to aid my city planning. Don’t suppose you are interested in changing the world? Or at least one city before we die.

  6.  @yuriydee  the poor pay more taxes than the rich. Why would funding be an issue? We haven’t lost any of the resources needed to build things, all the workers are still able bodied, it sounds like the only thing holding us back are greedy bastards who are butt hurt that they can’t exploit the process for personal gain.

  7. They would just build luxury apartments so they can make the most profit anyway. The systems screwed through and through.

  8.  @mariusfacktor3597  there is a big difference between an apartment built as luxury, and an apartment built to house people as affordably as possible, the latter never gets done. Apartments should be sold not rented, another huge issue is greedy landlords holding onto properties and profiting off of them for decades. Idk about where you are, but here there is not a huge difference between new and old properties, they are both unaffordable, usually the older ones are built better anyway.

  9. They are not good, in fact they make urban planning significantly harder because you have to cater to their whims. Ultimately they only serve to take from people by exploiting their basic needs.

  11.  @paxundpeace9970  I’m saying that urban planners should decide and coordinate what is built where in cities, not regular people. Cities could be perfectly designed to comfortably and efficiently accommodate as many residence as possible. Instead of the random mess we have in cites now, roughly influenced by zoning laws, and strongly influenced by profitability, not a great way to create a space made for people.
