You're not wrong about housing prices and greed, but also your math doesn't add up.

4000 sqft * $150/sqft is 600K, not 350K.

Still overpriced by quite a bit even with the cost of the land ($350K) and high end finishes though.

If we were sane zoning would require a minimum units per acre. Which means you can't build single family houses that size.

If we were sane we wouldn't artificially limit or goose supply via zoning.

"Some eggs make give you salmonella, therefore eggs shouldn't exist"

I'm sure you don't mean your absolute statement, otherwise I need your address to build my coal powerplant next to.
