  • So we should lift other zoning restrictions as well.

    Allow people to start businesses in these buildings.

    It’s one thing to prevent boiling horses into glue next to a preschool, but it’s entirely another thing to specify that a building cannot contain a barber shop because it’s zoned for residential.

    We have too much zoning in our country. Too many rules to allow the market to simply solve problems. Oh this neighborhood does’t have a doctor’s office? Sounds like a great place for a doctor to set up shop, assuming they’re allowed.


  • Density zoning is the source of the housing crisis.

    People think it’s market forces that have created the housing crisis, but it is exactly the opposite: government ha been artificially restricting supply for decades.

    There are so many places where 100 units is a more profitable use of land than 10 units, but it’s prevented by density zoning.
