How much have costs increased, and what tells us that it's regulations, not many other causes?

Also, which regulations? Some are more valuable, some less, and inevitably some will misfire. I'm not just going to trust real estate developers, who have their own interests, to meet other needs.

I'm not sure we need more high-end development - those tenants have plenty of options.

In cities, new buildings can impact a community for a century. They should have a say, not just a developer from another city.
