“if it were the case that all Americans wanted big houses on large lots and could afford big houses on large lots, would we need single-family zoning? Absolutely not” #Urbanism #Parking #Sprawl https://yaleclimateconnections.org/2025/01/do-americans-really-want-urban-sprawl/
@eleland Great article. Thanks for posting! (and for cluing me in to Yale Climate Connections; subscribed...)
@eleland (Oh, and let's not forget about the _racism_ that spawned those zoning laws... price marginal people out of the market... )
@stonebear Absolutely. Spotlighting exclusionary zoning locally has revealed to me how many of my "progressive" neighbors continue to marginalize people. I have been re-evaluating whether I should describe myself as progressive anymore.
