🚨 NEW VIDEO: Empty Luxury Towers Are Raising YOUR Rent
Just dropped a 60-minute investigation into why new apartments cost more than ever—even when developers keep building.
The answer? It's not supply and demand. It's a system.
Here's what we expose:
💰 How developer fees reward speed over affordability
🏦 Why lenders demand marble lobbies and premium rents
🌍 How global capital decides what gets built in your city
📊 The algorithmic pricing keeping rents artificially high
🚫 Why affordable housing "doesn't pencil"
📉 The filtering myth that never works
🎯 Tax breaks that subsidize empty towers
💡 What actually works (and why cities aren't doing it)
The luxury apartment bubble isn't accidental. It's the predictable outcome of incentives that prioritize assets over homes.
Dark towers become strategy. Effective rents hide behind concessions. Your renewal letter arrives calibrated to a number set by buildings you'll never visit.
This video breaks down the spreadsheet that decides what gets built—and what gets left out.
