    I’m getting really sick and tired of you trying to play coy with terminology, or whatever the Hell it is you’re trying to do. Are you really so fucking dense that you’re confused by what I wrote?

    It’s illegal to build multi-family (i.e. more housing) in areas zoned for single-family. What part of that did you not understand?

      There is no shortage of real estate for multi-family dwelling. But, in practice, what you’re advocating is more private landlords collecting rents on property the occupants don’t own.

      The appeal and demand of suburbia is in the prospect of real land ownership, rather than perpetual serfdom.

        Why are you lying?

        If there weren’t unmet demand for multifamily, the NIMBYs wouldn’t have to resort to a law to stop people from building it.

          Brother, go actually look for a home. Tons of empty units in high density urban centers. They’re all priced into the 5k+/mo range. But there’s no shortage of units available.
