I think that would be great. But how do you enact that? Do you eliminate property rights? What do you replace them with? If you want my view, the correct policy is a land value tax (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_value_tax https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_value_tax). A policy more likely to be implemented is to move zoning laws up the governmental stack to the state level, so that they're not so easily locally influenced.
