Peter Thiel actually wants you to own your home. He said so himself in a leaked private email to other tech executives.

I think we should just push for federal abolition of any zoning restrictions that aren't based on real objective nuisance or safety thresholds.

- family zoning doesn't allow "unlimited market rate development" it upzones like, a handful of corridors lol

It's importiant for developer interests and decreases the power for current residents.
Which is exactly what it needs to do - Give more power to developers that create housing, and take away power from current residents that block housing.
