Well, I guess its more accurate to say it's the only thing that homeowners will even tolerate -- they do in my city. It's the landlords that hate it, but fortunately they don't get a lot of sympathy in my town's electorate.

Now if you talk zoning and granting permits, that's where the hate really begins.

And yes, I'm referring to CA where the housing-as-investment vehicle has distorting things more than most other places.
