>Wait why aren’t we building more apartments again?

Have you seen the Seattle skyline in the last 4 years? Lol.

I feel like this is a canned rant of yours that doesn't necessarily have a basis in this actual situation.

While you raise a fair point, the fact that Seattle is building a lot doesn't mean that Seattle is building enough. IIRC the net inflow is ~50 people/day. Seattle would need something like a new apartment building every week to break even.
