We don't want developers to continue building in the way they have been. McMansions (the most profitable house for them to build) in car-fucked-surburbia (the most profitable area because all the hidden costs are loaded onto the city in the future) are unsustainable, in the ecological sense, the environmental sense, and in the financial sense, as everyone trying to buy a house now is discovering.

Right now that building model is continuing because corporations wanting to rent are seizing up everything they can. There will be enough folks wanting affordable, sustainable housing, and we get that by building more densely and making cities nice to live in.

So let the current developers die, and a new model come in.
