The average apartment size in Manhattan is 701 sq ft, and the average rent is $3872/mo ( Web Link ). The average apartment size in Palo Alto is 822 sq ft, and the average rent is $3003/mo ( Web Link ). Building taller and more densely doesn't make housing more affordable because it drives up the price of land as well as the construction cost per square foot. As long as there are people with enough dollars to create demand, you can build tall/dense housing and make it profitable, but you can't make it cheap. When there aren't enough dollars around to create demand, you can't make it profitable, so it doesn't get built. By the way, anyone else notice that SB9 concentrates its new development in areas that are neither mixed-use nor well-served by mass transit? So much for all those claims about promoting walkability and cutting carbon dioxide emissions.
