I don't know where it's being blocked in your view but to use my earlier example of silicon valley, maybe there is a limitation of geographic space, resources in relation to population, and zoning considerations. Maybe silicon valley workers could sponsor the building of a floating land mass to add additional residential space unbound by traditional limitations.

Or we could just not zone as heavily? A recent building near me got blocked because it would add 0.001% (I know it sounds like hyperbole, but I promise I'm being dead serious that was the number) shadow to a nearby park. That is absurd and to pin it on "silicon valley workers" is nativist and dumb.

I know people who live where there is no zoning and went from having nothing but empty land next to their house, to a car mechanic, loud gym, fireworks stand, and many other undesirable businesses (to be living beside) in their backyard. You definitely will want some zoning. I am not familiar with zoning laws in your area and know you are not advocating for no zoning at all, but just food for thought.
