> That's not an impossible obstacle, of course, but it would take rezoning. I don't know how easy that is to do here. Depends on what dimension you're measuring. Technically? Easy, at one point most of the US didn't have strict zoning, and most peer nations have nothing like this, it's hardly necessary. And usually these cities allow for apartments somewhere in the city, even if it's a small strip of land, it's not some unknown concept. Politically? Hoo boy, that's a hard one. Because most Americans who live in these areas hate anything other than super low housing density.
