Low rent apartment building should lower the land value around them. They are supposed to be in "poor" neighbourhoods that usually people avoid. Currently every high density building is making land value go crazy and it's not realistic. Same goes for some of the commercial buildings. Ppl don't want to live close to gas station so it should lower land value around. Would be also nice to have district policies banning certain commercial buildings.

reasonable, because people mostly will choose to live on large apartment not that, unless they're student or poor

Questionable. The noise pollution effects are also used to simulate NIMBYism like not wanting to be next to a gas station. Low rent housing, however, is very valuable property. It's a LOT of separate apartments.

If the local Commercial and Industrial have low wage jobs, they need places to get workers from. Low cost housing is the only place such workers could afford to live. If you take that away, you have the job but no home - homeless. Homelessness drives values down. So, the affordable housing is increasing land values by:

  • Reducing homelessness
  • Providing businesses access to low wage workers

Also typically, high density areas actually see an increase in land value regardless of what’s there because it’s simply supply and demand. There’s less land to develop so parcels increase in value.

but wouldn't demand for housing affect land value? I just know this irl I might be wrong. Since even if houses/aparments are medium-low quality they're still expensive if there are not enough houses/apartment
