I think you need to read his argument again.
He wants to replacing zoning with 'sanitary codes' which is an interesting argument to encourage high density development. I would also add noise pollution codes, sound dampening, and other things to make apartment living much better.
- jhayward 8y agoAny "sanitary code" presumably applies to things like sewers and water supply. If it can prevent the kinds of things I'm thinking of, it's just zoning in another set of clothes.
- bobthepanda 8y agoSure. But I think he's describing a massive mindset change w.r.t. zoning. Basically, something similar to the Japanese blacklisting approach (everything up to a certain use is allowed) vs. the incredibly specific North American whitelisting approach (this area can only have big box stores, vs. this one which can only have small storefronts). http://devonzuegel.com/post/north-american-vs-japanese-zoning http://devonzuegel.com/post/north-american-vs-japanese-zonin...
