Apparently enough to make the building projects affordable. I would say 
it's a balanced representation and it skews hard left but the local 
subreddit is filled with posts from people looking for affordable housing 
and rental agents that won't screw them over and require high registration 
fees.

The other popular topic is people looking for work that pays a decent wage 
or gig work like bartending to make ends meet. The rental market was tight 
35 yeaars ago. Now there are apartment complexes on what used to be ranch 
land all over and the market still is tight. I keep thinking a tipping 
point should be reached but it never has. Had it there would be a blood 
bath among highly leveraged builders and speculators. I saw that in the 
'80s in New Hampshire when the tax structure encouraged business office 
construction. They built, nobody came, and the ripple even took down the 
smaller banks that had bought into the fad.
