Single family zoning is terrible unless you’re wealthy enough to enjoy it.
When done right, incredibly inequitably pleasant and convenient. Garages and driveways and street parking, freestanding walls, personal gardens and patios… some green spaces might even be left nearby for the fauna and flora…
(Obviously a McMansion in a desert with zero walkability doesn’t fit the bill.)
Do note this is a description of an inequitably pleasant luxury that’s obviously overall bad for humanity 🌈
The thing is Lemmy is a pretty terrible cross section of society. Theres plenty of people in inner city apartments with solid careers who are fed the fuck up with living in an overpriced shoebox when they could buy a house in the suburbs, but those are overpriced too.
The more affordable all types of housing get the more everyone benefits, more supply is the only way to counter more demand.
