"When you have too much land, you need to share it!"
yes most Zoning is bad and un natural
A lot of good people in this short video. Good for these residents sticking up for what's right. For far too long Austin, like just about every other American city, has excluded low income people from having homes in many neighborhoods with land-use restrictions that ban small and low-cost homes. These laws were designed to be classist and segregate the community by income, and they have done exactly that. It's time to relax the zoning laws and let the housing supply catch up to demand. I want more people to have the opportunity to live in the wonderful city that is Austin Texas.
They’ll do or say anything to keep the poor people away
If that lady has an extra bedroom in her house is she willing to share it too?
Who has the money to build a second home on their lot but a builder. The rent would not pay for the extra taxes you would be charged. Only way i see is sell half of the lot after you subdivide it for another home. to who, a builder who will made all the money.
Can she share her land with the homeless people? I ain't sharing my land, sorry. I work hard, do the same.
Almost trippling the density of a residential neighborhood will have serious negative impacts. Out here in Kaliunicornia Newsom pushed through a bill eliminating R1 zoning & ADUs started popping up everywhere. Now parking, school crowding etc. are problems & hoise prices didn't go down.
The reason why housing prices go up is because you have 110 people chasing after 100 housing units. If you add 5 more housing units, then you have 110 people chasing after 105 housing units. The prices will continue to go up.
Adding a few houses will not stem the tide of higher prices. You need more, a lot more. The only way to make prices go down is to flood the market with housing units. If 110 people are chasing after 200 housing units, then housing prices will definitely go down.
Talk about a disaster. This city council will jump right to it.
Hello, May I share the most important news you will ever hear in life? God the Father sent His holy Son Jesus Christ(Y'shua Ha' Mashiach) from heaven to earth, to be born of a virgin. He grew up and died on the cross for our sins. He was put into a tomb for 3 days, and then Abba Father raised Jesus to life and He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. We must all sincerely receive Jesus to be a true child of God. It says in John 1:12 "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name." Will you genuinely believe on Christ Jesus and truly receive Him today, before it is too late?
More bad ideas
The only bad idea is zoning laws. If you do away with zoning laws altogether, then the market will build the houses in quantity that will meet consumer demand.
