I think zoning laws are necessary, but they're way too strict in some/a lot of places. Like, I don't want a loud, polluting factory next to my home, but why are there places where all you can build are single-family homes?
The problem is if you have a housing crisis, and developable land, but the only housing projects you approve are $750k houses in giant suburb.... There's a huge difference between deregulation and planned incentivized development.
Communities have so much power as far as local approval for building developments and city design. You guy should be coming together and saying what you just said. How can we get more affordable housing without all the bad effects, what regulations do we need to protect your peace and health? What regulations are blocking a mixed use development in favor of a suburb no one can afford?
One thing to is it comes down to incentivizing housing. someone needs to take the capital loss on creating a cheap house for a family in need. It's the city and the tax payers. If you can't figure out who is eligible for a cheap home, and who will pay for that person cheap home, and find a builder to build said cheap home, then it's all just a waste of breath anyway.
I disagree
Ok
