Exactly -- all new housing is going to be marketed as "luxury".

Who is going to build a brand-new apartment and say "well, this is janky low-quality housing, you might want to live here if you're poor or something"?

I go outside and look at my neighborhood of bungalows largely built immediately after the war, they were not sold as luxury. They were sold as affordable housing.
