    Exactly. You want people to be able to afford to buy homes?

    Fix. The. Zoning. Code.

      Kick NIMBYs where it counts and upzone at the state level. There’s absolutely no reason a small number of NIMBY locals should be able to hold an entire state (or country) hostage by refusing to zone for anything other than single family homes.

        Counterpoint: I live in Florida and the less that happens at the state level, the better. DeSantis and the FL GOP are doing their best to consolidate power in Tallahassee since they have a supermajority there and they will happily fuck over just about anyone just to show them who’s boss.

        The last thing I need is the assholes in Talla having more power over my neighborhood.
