We have known this forever—literally, this is basically American housing policy—and anyone that tells you that you *just* need new construction or *just* need more targeted subsidies is deliberately obfuscating because they care more about their priors than about housing people. https://twitter.com/maustermuhle/status/1252641519267467264

Also, I think we should eliminate single-fam zoning, but that doesn't preclude you from building single-fam homes. Tbh we should be building a fuckton more duplexes or attached rows on R-1-A/B lots to mitigate this, but you currently literally cannot. https://twitter.com/maustermuhle/status/1252642267216609280?s=20

Would someone build a plex here if it were legal? Idk. But I do know they sure as shit won’t if they need a variance. Lotta zoning to fix but there are MANY new single-fam builds up here and along Oregon, Military, etc. that should at least be duplexes. https://twitter.com/weeseandbeyond/status/1253088310215524355?s=21 https://twitter.com/weeseandbeyond/status/1253088310215524355
