The global housing market is broken, and it’s dividing entire countries
One thing I wish was brought up more is the missing middle [1]. Having denser neighbourhoods is good for a ton of reasons, and having more available housing units would be super helpful for this. Of course, zoning laws restrict this heavily, and car dependent infrastructure also encourages single-family homes with space for multiple vehicles easily accessible in a driveway&#x2F;garage.<p>Obviously this wouldn&#x27;t be a silver bullet, but I really wish North American urban planning would allow for more freedom in housing structures, and put more emphasis on public transportation. Hard to have faith though.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;missingmiddlehousing.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;missingmiddlehousing.com&#x2F;</a>
