You might naively expect a booming area to zone for more capacity over time, not less.

- zip1234 6y agoThis is why zoning is dumb. How do most cities zone? They draw borders around what is already there and make it a zone based on what is there. The first effect is to freeze those areas how they already are. The places that are not built up get borders around them too. Those places are zoned for a particular use based on the wild ass guess of some elected officials. Since those elected officials cannot see the future, those wild ass guesses are often wrong.
