These tax credits need to be conditional on zoning reform in the neighborhood or we're not going to fix anything.
Agreed. We allow industrial building to infest residential areas ( usually minority areas ), we need to fix the laws. That includes local because they hold a lot of power. Incentives local governments to stop redlining and remove old racist laws on the books.
I wish we had laws that would benefit the buys like the veteran loan programs have ( buying lower API points, refinancing for free or greatly reduced, more secure loaners ). More taxes on quick flips, short term rentals, and multiple houses owned by single investor(s). Stop people from looking at houses as an investment but as a universal necessity.
No, like 90% of the problem with zoning is restricting residential density to single-family houses only.
As for the industrial building vs. minority neighborhoods issue you're talking about, industry has hardly been encroaching anything in decades. It's really more the opposite: the need to remediate polluted former industrial sites (especially before new housing is built on top of them), as well as holding what relatively little industry actually still remains more accountable for the pollution it emits. That's not even really a zoning problem so much as it is an environmental regulation problem.
Dig a little deeper. See why we have single family house restrictions.
Also look into how the supreme court ruled that we are not entitled to clean anything with companies. Zoning also deals with run off, air, noise, and light pollution.
