It goes without saying that the when people complain that middle housing will “change the character of the neighborhood” is because they are afraid poor people or minorities will move in. They rely on the high price of housing both to inflate property value and to assure that only people from a certain economy status will live near them. Good luck proposing that in your local council. It’s easier to zone entire new areas with new regulations.
The crisis is fake, greed is the real issue there are more than enough places to live already, but many are kept empty for tax reason or used for airbnb, summer homes, and other bs.

I like the idea of this but it doesn’t consider parking. With more people you get more cars and more on-street parking.
This is to me describing some dystopian nightmare.
