By housing, we really mean land use. We inherited from our grandparents a society built around cars, and restrictive zoning that prevents society from rebuilding away from cars. Just look at the zoning maps, how much of San Francisco is limited to 40 foot height limits (35 foot if you’re building a single-family house) and 1 or 2 homes per 2500 square feet parcel. http://sf-planning.org/zoning-maps http://sf-planning.org/zoning-maps Without enough homes near jobs, and by not allowing homes to be built without dedicating lots of space to parking, we encourage mega-commutes. https://www.vox.com/energy-and-environment/2017/8/22/16177820/california-transportation https://www.vox.com/energy-and-environment/2017/8/22/1617782...
