Density-restrictive zoning increases our demand for land. I, for example, only need about 1000sf of living space. In city where the minimum lot size is 3000sf and maximum FAR is 30%, my demand for land is 3000sf. However, in a city where 12 story buildings are abundant, my demand for land is only about 100sf, including proportionally allocated common area space. By not allowing dense housing, city zoning codes are making affordability illegal by statute.
