Reply to comment by RVAMS in Rent too damn high? Landlords have formed an illegal cartel according to several reports by cogitator_tertius

Most of the usable land in the city is zoned single use, low density.

Building costs aren't the barrier to entry. 4plexes, townhouses, cottage or village styles are all viable, but the zonig code only allows them in a few select areas.

Investment is obviously not the problem.

The city or every single metro area in the country?

The 100 largest landowners increasing their stake by 50% every ten years surely has nothing to do with this problem. Surely the ultra wealthy and multinational developers working in tandem have nothing to do with this issue so I guess I'll just blame it on checks notes zoning policy in every county in the country.
