I feel like North America could fix its housing issue by simply abolishing the single family housing zones

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 25 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No. Every American should be able to have 40 acres and a mule.

What do you mean, that’s more than 5x the total acreage of the US? This is a minor problem, we’ll just make more land or steal some more from the Indians.

What are your thoughts on a platform city like the one in Final Fantasy 7?

[–] problematicPanther@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

they could fix the housing crisis by regulating the market.

[–] AutistoMephisto@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Zoning laws in the US are particularly fucked. This video breaks it down quite nicely, I find.

Here is the thing North Americans love single family homes.

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

How would you know, North America is literally missing the opportunity to have new development of things other than single family houses or apartment big buildings, bet you there would be a lot of demand for midrises, row houses, mixed neighborhoods in general

[–] deeferg@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Row houses maybe, but there's an adversity to condo fees which usually come along with every other source of housing. A lot of people want to feel like they own their home outright, so that once their mortgage is done being paid off, all they need to worry about is the hydro, water, and property taxes. There's a lot of stories about condo groups doubling condo fees that put others off those types of places.

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world -1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I feel like every single family home has HOA dues, these days, so that comparison is kinda moot. Whether it's condo fees, HOA dues, or the local cartel extorting you for protection, you're gonna get nickel and dimed.

Narp. I wouldn't buy a house in a hoa ever again, and haven't had issues finding the last two I lived in (in both large and small markets).

[–] hglman@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago

Both are true, she point is those with the single family homes now wont get out of them

[–] frezik@midwest.social 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Developers in my city are building apartments like mad and filling every single one of them. The common council finally opened up zoning for row housing in the past year.

[–] spikederailed@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

In Charlotte, NC where I last lived. They were building apartments like crazy, but all "luxury apartments" and charging $3-4/sq ft.

$1850/month for a 600sqft apartment wasn't really sustainable for a lot of people.

Idk, its not like there's no housing shourtage/rant gauging in other countries with more sensible zoning.

[–] coffeeaddict@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

It's a zoning problem all along. See: Canada, Netherlands, Ireland...

[–] GhostFence@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Zoning is irrelevant. Perfect zoning laws could mean 10x the houses - and the investors will buy them all up and supercharge property prices all over again.

[–] frezik@midwest.social 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

How many houses are sitting unoccupied like that in your city?
