Zoning only exists because of racism and classism, remember this. After Buchanan v. Warley in 1917, municipalities turned to race-neutral tools like single-family zoning, minimum lot sizes, and setback requirements to indirectly enforce economic and racial segregation. These land-use controls acted as proxies, allowing communities to maintain exclusionary barriers under the guise of local police powers and neighborhood character.

Maybe not, but decades from now those same homes will be held onto by 80 year-olds.
If this is a problem that solves itself, it would have solved itself already.
what exactly do you think the problem is?
