In Cramped and Costly Bay Area, Cries to Build, Baby, Build
I say this as a conservative:
Building limits are systemically classist and racist. They maintain a geographical segregation system.If you want to fix the country then remove all limits, let developers develop whatever and whereever they deem there is demand. Remove occupancy laws where they're not about safety. Remove property line setbacks. End parking requirements. End requirements about private kitchens and bathrooms. Outlaw Zoning entirely.The nation will become more equitable economically when rich people and poor people all share the same zipcodes again. And you can do it with capitalism, you can do it by removing government instead of creating it, you can do it with freedom.Side bonus: you'll have an economic boom. Construction is an industry that creates real wealth that usually stays in the country.
