think about what this means from an urban & quality of life context
US zoning & building codes actively work *against* livable places
they work *against* walkability, a high quality of life
preventing a mix of both moderately dense housing *and* space for trees. preventing quiet streets, privacy

fundamentally, our land use codes don't actually lead to significant higher levels of population density over single stair buildings of similar height - just thicker buildings w/ no unit diversity - all single aspect studios/1-BRs - like so:

here's an example of what i mean on similar number of residents:
on left: 150 homes in 6 story PABs on a 1 acre site. 50% 2-4 BRs, for a total of 260 bedrooms.
on right: 181 homes on 6 floors - ALL but 11 are studios/1BRs (!)
0.8 acres, so 226 DU/acre - but only 256 bedrooms. no 3- or 4-BR homes

The people mad today were equally mad six months ago when the same thing happened and then forgot it happened mostly. With that said I think the risk for Dems is that the rage persists in an inchoate way that can’t even really be cured, since no one remembers where it came from
