There are floor area ratios (FAR) now that prevent small units. I have a 6500 sqft lot. I can build 14 units. I have a FAR of 3, so 19500 sqft / 14 units is 139

There are floor area ratios (FAR) now that prevent small units. I have a 6500 sqft lot. I can build 14 units. I have a FAR of 3, so 19500 sqft / 14 units is 1390 sqft per. Zoning is your problem, not who is building. Developers and landlords are working in the insanity that are municipal governments. Do you understand why we write people off when they say they want more of their involvement? Loosen zoning and I'll take advantage of it. We don't need to pay some bureaucrat who has no incentive to do their job efficiently to sit in the middle of this. Zoning office budgets should be tied to number of permits approved or units built. Right now they get the same money for being impediments. Oh, I almost forgot, I also need to have 14+ parking spaces if I build out fully. Again, zoning problem. Developers don't just love parking lots.
