Unfortunately, the local control approach isn't providing enough housing. Giving property owners rights will allow market forces to provide what is needed. Nobody is saying that the owner of the parking lot must develop housing on it, but giving them the freedom to do so is unequivocally good in our current situation. Municipalities have resisted doing what they have needed to do for too long, shirking their responsibility to residents current and future, that an intervention is required. And lots of folks will kick and scream about the character of their neighborhoods. I live in a legendarily NIMBY community. I want to convince my wife to move to a red state and retire as we cash out of CA.
