There’s a difference in kind and in build volume between the earliest examples and later, expansive restrictions. The latter restrictions have basically been back-dooring socialism, and it’s arguably why urban Dems have been supportive of them.

Short sighted people chasing after policies that inflated the value of their domiciles (by constricting supply) and seeing them as an investment, and longer sighted people seeing trouble on the horizon when the process plays out and the problem arises into our current situation, have both played into the hands of the current agenda (albeit to different degrees of intentionality.)

Shattering that is necessary.

“Short sighted people”

Anybody who would vote for a Democratic Socialist is short-sighted.

“Shattering that is necessary.”

That reminds me of a block of brownstones that was “shattered” for the Museum of Modern Art in NYC circa 1939.

Zoning is many places goes back 90 years or more.

The leftists and developer loving-Republicans are the ones chasing policy changes.

What next?

Should Apple have to issue 2% more shares each year into Trump accounts so the younger folks and imports can have “equity” just like the people that invested years ago?

The word “equity” is used for a reason by the leftists.
