Also the same rich people fight tooth and nail when someone wants to build housing near them - and especially if the homes being built are something besides a single detached unit.
- bb88 2y agoThanks for pointing that out.
- ty6853 2y agoIt's the same problem as asking some crypto bro or stock holder if they want to mint new tokens/shares, why would they? It's a difficult problem to solve. Land in many places has almost all its value as a license token to build a constrained set of things. In the extreme, if density could reach infinity at a point it would render everyone else's land close to worthless for residential purposes. Once you start to look at real estates as tokens instead of land you start to realize what an intractable problem zoning is, as all the stakeholders have every reason to sabotage it.
