"It leaves my friends and I, .... with gloomy prospects for how and where we can live. More people are being pushed out to the car-dependent suburbs because it's more affordable."
Millenial housing problems in a nutshell. Priced out of desired urban areas, exiled to suburbia, until you can make enough money to buy one of the few, rare, homes available in the urban areas. (And then you can get accused of gentrification! All because the local city counselor grew up in a 1950's suburb, and can't imagine anyone ever wanting to lie any other way, and so won't permit anything else to be built. Never mind that land values have tripled, and so to maintain the same level of affordability, densities need to triple as well.
