Every person who moves into one of the new townhouses on the 1200 sqft lots is a person who is not outbidding you for the house on the 5000 sqft lot.

  Some are proposing state-forced re-zoning, converting residential neighborhoods into multi-family condos. Essentially the eminent domain taking of property. "Your land is too valuable; others need it". Kind of a slap in the face, after working a lifetime to afford a small home.

    Rezoning gives nothing but the right to rebuild your own property as you wish to. No one is being forced to sell.

      I think it depends on how strict the zoning is. The US has a tendency for relatively strict command economy style exclusive zoning.

        That is still a permission to build, not an obligation to build, no matter how strict the zoning is.
