  That's the argument people fall back on to defend zoning: we have to separate industrial use from where people live! It does not follow that we need to regulate the number of kitchens and locations of doors in a house. Because kitchens and doors are often the only difference between a oneplex, duplex, triplex, and fourplex.

Perhaps a system where price per square foot going over a threshold triggers an automatic upzoning. There's a whole spectrum of housing for America to rediscover: https://missingmiddlehousing.com/ https://missingmiddlehousing.com/
