> minimum viable commercial development This is fundamentally what we're talking about. A business that requires a retail footprint in 2026 is going to want to do that in the cheapest, most controlled way possible. If McDonalds could buy formerly-SFH/R lots and build stores with 2 parking spaces + street parking, that's exactly what they would do. There's too much money not to. We can gripe about zoning's effectiveness in producing "good" cities, but I'm far less sympathetic to arguments against its existence. Without zoning limits, you get nasty, brutish, and short city lives where sociopathic businesses are concerned. |
