As an outsider (not from North America), I find it beyond insane how they still zone all those neighborhoods at the core of the city (short walking distance from Downtown proper) as if they were far periphery suburbs. In my country such central neighborhoods in such a young fast-growing city would have been re-zoned to 4-story buildings a long time ago, and then rezoned again to 12-story buildings more recently. No wonder they have a "housing crisis". Edit: And when you compare it to a transit map it becomes even more outlandish, they have "single family zones" completely surrounding major transit stations.
