The Wordsmith's Forge

It's a big problem in New York City. We have a massive housing and affordability crisis, yet we constantly see old buildings getting torn down to put up tall glass apartment boxes that almost no one can afford. Then our politicians blame NIMBY that we don't want more, denser housing buildings put up when in actuality we're tired of losing places we actually use in favor of apartments that could only be some rich person's second or third apartment, if they sell at all.
