Harm reduction doesn't eliminate harm, it reduces harm. Just like seatbelts and bike helmets won't stop accidents from happening, it reduces the risk of fatalities in those circumstances. #harmreduction

One of the worst anti-YIMBY arguments I can imagine. Clearly nobody knows the exact number of units needed to depress rents to a certain amount. But the goal would be to keep build until a certain affordability threshold is reached.
NYC needs more housing supply but no one ever explains how many units you need to actually "fix" the problem of high rents. YIMBYs are aggressively analytic until you ask for an actual threshold for what would make a median one-bedroom apartment in NYC rent for less than $2,000.
What a coward. COWARD
