@stewf The simplest way to build more housing is zoning moratoriums. We have a residential housing “crisis” while entire office parks sit empty. People can live in converted strip malls, skyscrapers, and every building in between. No tax dollars necessary, just relinquish some control.

@johnbutler Yes, there has been some movement in zoning laws in California and Bay Area cities at large. That’s good. I am now calling on my own neighbors to stop resisting change in their neighborhood for specious reasons like “parking”, “traffic”, and “character”. The commercial corridors around me are prime for dense housing, allowing more folks to live closer to work, and enjoy our city rather than commute further and further from the bleak suburbs.
