I’m helping a YIMBY group in Austin, Texas. In the USA, we’ve tied the legal right of what you can build to the land. So, a housing shortage causes land prices to skyrocket. We need to break those connections (height limits, unit limits, floor area limits, etc.) to bring urban prices back to reasonable values. Then, people who want denser, walkable, social neighborhoods can create them. I do data analysis for the group, on land prices and politics. (E.g., campaign donors).
