Rezone to allow for more apartments and larger houses. It’s pretty simple.



Now we are getting to the actual discussion. Of couse, land can be rezoned, but _why_ do that? Why is it a 'better' solution to increase supply through effectively removing people from their homes instead of decreasing demand through denying purchase of homes?


You can outlaw making homes, but if you don't outlaw making babies, where will the people live?


Where do they live now?

P.S. Nobody is outlawing the making of homes. That's false hyperbole on your part.


What do you think bans on duplexes, apartment buildings, and row houses do in a city?

What point are you trying to make? The article doesn't talk about people being banned from building houses but about a ban on foreigners purchasing homes.
