They really need to just eliminate all local power and consolidate all zoning decisions with a single housing czar. It's clear that democratic solutions have failed.

It's possible that democracy hasn't failed, but merely hasn't been structured properly. If zoning and permitting processes were held accountable to the millions of people that have to commute to or through their walled towns, instead of those who merely live in them, they most definitely would act differently.
