> The fetishization of single-family housing comes from planners From what I read, the fetishization comes from already homeowners who want to have their cake (a house) and eat it too (making it an asset that appreciates). Since voting is non mandatory in USA, voters tend to skew old and/or homeowner, both of which like to maintain the status quo, hence favoring policies that keep it.
