But they are: They're called multi-story buildings.
And the Dems (and most likely the RINOs as well) are advancing policies to replace neighborhoods of single-family homes with apartment blocks and condominiums.
This will result in a twofold reduction in home values as the supply will increase and the desirability of a home in a neighborhood where the house next door can be replaced by an apartment block at the whim of the planning commission plummets.
Yes.
“whim of the planning commission plummets.”
It’s worse than that in California. The state effectively did away with R1 residential zoning. You can split your quarter-acre lot in two and build two huge homes. Then you can put a granny unit in the rear of each home. Now you have four homes where one used to be and no increase of parking. Neighborhoods ruined, highly congested, streets filled with cars.
It’s the worst state government in the nation. Zero protection for those who own property in nice towns. The state is effectively stealing the value of your home from you.
The problem appears to be self-correcting, though. California is losing a lot of population, and I’m sure policies like this are contributing to the decline.
