    I already said I agree about zoning I just disagree that zoning solves the problem without also shoring up institutional investors.

    I’m aware of zoning and housing discrimination.

    I get the sense that you’re arguing from the perspective of someone who has been traumatized from arguing with so many NIMBYs, but this thread probably has few to none of those people.

      That part you’re probably right about!

      …but this thread probably has few to none of those people.

      Maybe, but you might be surprised at how much NIMBYism transcends the political spectrum. I live in one of the most progressive (not “liberal;” genuinely progressive) parts of my city and we’ve still got a bunch of them whining in zoning meetings etc.
