wtf are you even talking about at this point
Try and follow along.

You think states/cities shouldn't upzone single family suburbs.

Single family suburbs make up the majority of residential land in cities.

Therefore you don't think cities should allow building of new homes on the majority of their residential land.

Make sense?
 
Now, how do people who find current housing unaffordable get to where they can make a living when they're in the middle of bumfuck nowhere? Are you trolling?
Bumfuck nowhere? Islam was the one who suggested West Virginia. I’m suggesting continued suburban sprawl. Where do you suggest we build houses?

Wrong.

I suggest each community zone how they feel appropriate.

Your recommendation doesn’t do anything but open up more rentals. Which, if a community wants that, is fine.

Admit it’s only rentals and be done with it.
 
Just observing the actual homeowner discussing issues with a guy who can't comprehend them, because he lives with his parents and has never owned a damn thing in his life...
I understand Rob's point, nobody wants their property values to drop, even Dave Chappelle threatened to withdraw an investment in the city he moved to if they allowed zoning for affordable housing. If you look at the housing problem though what Islam is saying makes sense. I'm not picking a side, just playfully ribbing Rob, but the idea of building entirely new infrastructure for a municipality even further away from their major metropolitan area doesn't seem as cost effective as making zoning laws less restrictive so people can build on land they already own.
 
How's the wife doing, Andrew?

That’s not what I’m suggesting.

Im simply saying, build more homes and allow local communities to zone them how they wish. Every major city has surrounding towns and suburbs. That’s all I’m saying
 
On the same lots as other houses, like @Islam Imamate is suggesting, and not a 1-hour commute away from where a person can make a living.
Which is going to be small rentals. Every community has the right to vote for that. It doesn’t “solve housing”. If means either wealthy people become landlords of people living in tiny homes on their property or Blackrock etc buy dead boomer homes and create high density rentals. All of which are fine if a community want its. However, it doesn’t increase home ownership.

Suburbs built when? What was the population and inflation like then? It seems that building another rung of suburbs even further from the main city is easier said than done.
