The North American sprawl is of course a nightmare but just sticking everyone in cities doesn't solve affordability or homelessness, unfortunately. In fact this would probably make that worse by increasing demand in already in-demand places.

Just turn the entirety of NA into one continuous city


Problem solved?

A tale of two housing policies:

Arizona Governor vetoes a bipartisan housing bill over concerns that it isn't "balanced" in considering current homeownership home values and building new housing because it errs too far on the side of new construction. Also, because the Department of Defense objected to increased density and new construction near military bases.

The DoD complaint seems like a fig leaf that could easily be changed and it is mostly about appeasing people who are terrified about new housing attracting traffic/crime or reducing property values.

On the other hand, the WSJ reports on Austin's rapid homebuilding project, but frames it as a negative because rents and home values have fallen 7% since they started allowing significantly more housing construction and engaged in "overbuilding" according to the WSJ.
