An argument that requiring "affordable" housing just drives up the price of housing and prices out the middle class.

More housing supply is going to be the key. Last year we added 50,000 jobs in the five-county core but only 20,000 new housing units. We need to step it up.

Wasn’t there talk that too many apartments were being built?

Not really. There are some who tried to compare it to Condos and what happened to them during the housing collapse. But people were buying condos as investments and leaving them empty. That doesn't really work with apartments. Vacancy rates are still really low. And honestly if there is some sort of apartment collapse you just end up with the LLCs that own the apartments changing hands and cheaper rents. Not really a bad thing for the general public. Either way, we are far from that point and far from keeping up with demand.
