    You have no clue what zoning does to buildability, do you.

    Hint: insane ass zoning rules are government regulations. You really want revised government regulations.

        And way up this thread was referring to localized laws. And you can force certain changes at higher levels, just gotta be prepared for the lawsuit that follows. State of NJ having a huge issue with affordable housing, and Fair Share basically taking a court ruling and running with it and essentially forcing towns to build, or else.

          Or Newsom just flat out removing zoning restrictions via state law in Cali.

          What a Chad.

      All people who think more gov controlling everything should do is look at places like Europe where it’s basically impossible to build and family homes are generational things handed down and you live with your parents until they die and hand over the home to you

        “look at places like Europe” is the clearest signifier of someone who has never left the States ever in their life.

        In Europe, there are 50 countries, over 150 distinct cultures, wildly different economies and styles of government representing each country, and over 746 million people living within European borders. Of those 746 million, 70% own their own home, compared to 65% of US Americans. Your generalization is absolute nonsense and you should probably not respond so confidently with your opinion.

        “Europe” isn’t just London and Paris. I did some research on real estate in France and Spain recently and it’s significantly cheaper over there if you aren’t living in a major city. Even cheaper than the rural area in the US I currently live in.

          No shit…this happens in small towns as well. I would know my family is from multiple countries in Europe.

          They’re cheaper sure, but you also make far less than in the USA.

            Yeah you do, but the housing was way more affordable at the same time. You can still make good money in Europe depending on what you do. In the US your income also gets reduced by things like heath insurance that are much cheaper in the EU even including the taxes. And groceries are cheaper in Europe as well.

        That’s absolutely not true where I live, so maybe be careful with the generalizations.
