Are you claiming that you can’t build homes in a residential neighborhood?
After the lots have already had single-family houses on them and you aren’t allowed to subdivide or replace them with multifamily buildings? Yes! That’s exactly what I’m claiming!
Every single-family house in the close-in parts of the city represents the physical displacement of multiple families that could have lived in that space if it had been a multifamily building instead. Those families are literally forced further out where they don’t have to be, and then have to commute back in. That’s where the traffic, high prices, lack of walkability, pollution, obesity crisis due to sedentary lifestyles, etc. etc. etc. ad nauseum all come from!

The exurbs were very popular during COVID work from home
