This is a monstrously deceptive graph, and there’s nothing about beautiful about it either. Looks like a 2% dip over 2.5 years, and subsequent return. A reasonably Y axis and some historical context would make this much less interesting-looking, but much more honest

What’s crazy is for all this talk about urbanism, the city’s total available housing hasn’t kept up with population growth.

That’s a drastic curve for 5%!!! This is a terrible graph.
