Exactly. Once that bidding [for bedrooms, not bathrooms as that’s what drives sewer load] completes, the NIMBY’s have won. It’s a small inconvenience that they can’t add a legal bedroom in their attic, but at least the character of their neighborhood will be preserved.

For any established neighborhood, that will overwhelmingly have already happened.

It’s a hard problem, because it’s a people and money problem centered around the space they spend more time than anywhere else and more money than they’ve spent on any other thing.
