> single family home hellscapes
"Hellscapes" is uncalled for. Many people like living in single family homes. The goal of housing should not be to enforce a single cookie cutter configuration on everybody. It should be to enable a free market in housing so that all of the different preferences people have for housing can have a reasonable chance of being met. I agree zoning laws should not favor single family homes to the detriment of other types, but equally they should not disfavor single family homes.

I agree, people should be able to do with their property what they want. Many SFH owners actively try to block development of the properties they do not own, unfortunately.
