Zone every inch of currently settled land to allow 6 story mixed use buildings, by right. Don’t require anything to build besides engineering and safety checks - no chance for NIMBY input. Do this federally.



Not sure if I'd do it federally... maybe start with a few trial cities or areas where the idea has a lot of support... But I'd be all for trying something like this!


> allow 6 story mixed use buildings

Why stop at 6? Why limit it at all?


I agree with this in totality. Preserving undeveloped wetlands is a way more important than preserving some boomers stake in a low density suburb.


Up the stories to 85 and then we are talking.
