Right-Wing urban planning needs to start looking more like this and less like infinite suburban sprawl and track homes:

Most of you wailing about selling some Federal land are probably very happy we sold the “public” airwaves for your private cell phone use. Privatizing the airwaves made them much more useful to the public. marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolu…

'If the government sold 0.05% of its land and designated it for starter homes on small lots, developers could build about one million homes over the next decade, at prices roughly $100,000 lower per dwelling than current new construction.'

A common misconception. The reality is that the median home value within a mile of BLM land is $460,000. The larger problem is the same as sprawl in the West - these homes tend to be built at about 4 per acre. We'll need to triple that density to get a million homes built.

The key to building a million homes on BLM land is legalizing small lots. Las Vegas metro has done this well, but the rest of the West, not so much.

Detroit vs its suburbs, SF homes built since 2015. What did the government do?

"What’s weird about IZ is that it’s essentially taxing housing in order to subsidize housing, which doesn’t make sense if your concern is the cost of housing."

I completely missed how groundbreaking SB 1123 is in California: ✅By-right lot splits up to 10 lots ✅60 day shot clock ✅1,200 sqft lots ✅Downzoning is now illegal!? It says vacant lots only, but you appear to be able to buy a single-family home, tear it down (vacant), and

Startling finding: having children leads to increased authoritarianism.
