I'm very much a believer that housing costs are at the root of a whole lot of what's wrong with... everything.
It's long past debate and long past time for neighborhoods to come up with a "vision." We need state and national level mandates for zoning reform and density increase, and if you're against it too bad. NIMBYs had 50 years to come up with something other than obstructionism.
- pjc50 3y agoWhat people actually seem to want is the ability to use the planning system to veto their neighbours having children. People vehemently do not want density increases around them or "changes to the character of the neighbourhood", and if driving the birth rate down helps with that goal then they're fine with it.
- api 3y agoYep, and this is what has to be crushed.
