If cities want employees to patronize local businesses, they they should start providing enough housing so employees can live near work. Stop forcing employees

If cities want employees to patronize local businesses, they they should start providing enough housing so employees can live near work. Stop forcing employees to live 30 miles away by restricting housing and then complain "But why won't they shop here!?"
- bob_theslob646 8y agoHighly underrated comment.
- TomMarius 8y agoNo, they should stop getting in the way of housing. Definitely not provide it, that's just calling for a catastrophe as we can see from policies like this one.
- Johnny555 8y agoI didn't mean "provide" as in the city building housing themselves, but meant "provide" as in to make planning decisions that allow developers to build higher density housing, especially near existing transit.
- TomMarius 8y agoOh, okay. Many people actually think the government should be the organization that builds and then provides housing. :-/
