High density planning is based on the social engineering formula of forcing X amount of homes per acre at Y value to achieve Z desired property tax revenue. Urban growth boundaries represent the X in this equation. In limiting supply this caused developable lots to skyrocket in costs. EFU zoned land represents true market value, and is selling for $5K a acre which prices the poor into land to build a home on. The newly adopted inflationary "Uniform Codes" represent the Y. These codes removed affordable starter homes off our housing market at the development stage because they do not meet Y value. These codes force nothing but serious overkill designs to meet Y value to extort Z highest property taxes per acre as possible. Furthermore, I'll state the obvious, PROPERTY TAXES continue to price the poor out of housing. You kill these problems and you can buy a starter home on the federal minimum wage, must less our 2nd highest in the nation. Glad you asked.
