You just need a dictator instead of this pesky democracy where the people that make up a constituency get to decide how they want to live. Even still, as you’v

  It's not a dictator that you need, it's to get the government to stop prohibiting things that ought not to be prohibited. Which you can go vote for. One of the better ways to do this is to go vote at the state or federal level to remove local zoning restrictions. Because the locals want their housing prices to go up and you don't get a vote in the local election unless you can already afford a house there, but you do get to vote in state and federal elections, so use it.

    But the idea is that people make better decisions the closer they are to the effects of said decisions. You're promoting a dangerous idea that allows people who don't live near you to erect 10-story apartment buildings next to your house and extract the economic lifeblood of your neighborhood back to wherever they live (probably a place with zoning).

      If someone owns the property next to you, they obviously have an economic interest in the neighborhood. They may or may not live there, but that has nothing to do with zoning. Someone can own a single-family home and rent it out. Meanwhile you can have a 10-story condominium where every single unit is owner-occupied. How tall the building is has nothing to do with whether the property owner lives in it.
