> 90% of all residential zoning in the USA is R1 well if that's based on land area that's not a very informative number. you'd want to do it by population.

- jholman 4y agoWhat? No, doing it by population is a bad approach. Land is the resource you're dividing up. The question is how much of the divided-up land is allocated to an (allegedly) niche usage. Doing it by population is like saying "almost no one is a billionaire, almost everyone is basically poor and equally-poor, so there can't possibly be a wealth inequality problem". (I'm not saying there is/isn't a wealth inequality problem, I'm only saying that's a dud argument.)
