I’m not sure that you’ve made the case that they are wrong strongly enough.
Does France have heavy handed zoning and historic preservation policies? Sure.
But you aren’t getting 5-6 story multi family buildings constructed at a face pace in major metro areas. In many places, such construction in prohibited entirely by also how family zoning.
And while France may protect historic monuments like an old church. “Historic preservation” in North America often implies restrictions on building in a single family residential area that was built in the 1920s.
Your post does show, however, that restrictions don’t have to be eased all that much, but unfortunately it’s a lot easier in North America to lay the blame all on foreigner and other greedy people, than regular homeowners who show up to city council and lose it over a multi story senior center from going into their neighborhood.

They sell like hot bread ( as in within weeks of starting sales all appartements are sold, with 1.5-3 years of waiting for the construction to finish), and cost an arm and a leg in the really fancy parts of the metro area ( the Western suburbs).
- wbsss4412 5y agoI was referring to North America (had a typo in there, should have said “at a France pace”, ie france is building these and NA is not), I get the sense your comment here is in reference to France?
