More than one word: zoning was used as a weapon of class warfare a long time ago and needs updating.

Also: cheap clickbait title to a news page littered with notification/subscription spam. Archive.is is needed.

Helen Lui has been hitting it out of the park with her recent articles. She is a good one to follow on Twitter for this type of stuff, too.

I think it's easy to forget communities like this one, twitter, or even city-related subreddits are still very, very small fractions of the general population. People I talk to outside these bubbles are shocked to learn it's practically illegal to build an apartment in 80% of the land in Vancouver and Toronto, or the further implications on affordability.
