If I'm a homeowner/landowner who wants to build a condo complex on my land to profit from increased demand, zoning laws don't allow me to. On my own land. YIMBY

If I'm a homeowner/landowner who wants to build a condo complex on my land to profit from increased demand, zoning laws don't allow me to. On my own land. YIMBY seems accurate to me.
- astazangasta 7y agoYou also can't build a brothel, foundry or nuclear reactor. On your own land!
- jogjayr 7y agoNone of those are housing.
- lobotryas 7y agoNo, but these are things you can’t build because of zoning (and other) laws.
- jogjayr 7y agoI can build those things on land zoned for those things, as long as I pass safety regulations, pay taxes and registration fees etc. The neighboring foundry can't say "Don't let them build a more efficient foundry next door because it'll change the character of this industrial park." (or if they can, that's a terrible place to do business)
