Complaining about zoning even though in a large portion of America, zoning is orthogonal to housing affordability [0] and supply, especially because no bank wants to finance residential real estate anymore - they'd all rather invest in commercial real estate which has better and more consistent returns (logistics parks, data centers, factories during CHIPS and IRA) [1].
