    The effect on the price by banning property hoarders (which, as I’ve said multiple times in this thread, cannot exist in the long run anyway so the problem will eventually solve itself) is so much smaller than the effect of zoning reform increasing the supply as to be damn near negligible in comparison.

    Y’all keep talking about marginal gains; I’m talking about transformative ones.

      Sure, you’ve said it multiple times, but it’s still wrong. Unless you’re trying to argue that the law of supply and demand doesn’t hold for house prices (spoilers, it does!) it’s simply wrong.
