Reply to comment by up_down_underwater in Washington state might nix-single family zoning by magenta_placenta
Restricting the supply of new single family homes, assuming no change in demand, will absolutely drive up prices.
Maybe some people will be content living in a multi-family home instead. Others will continue to want single-family homes.

This isn't restricting supply any more than it already is, nothing about this says anyone has to build foulrplexes. If they will its because the demand for dense housing is higher than demand for single family homes

I must have misunderstood. I assumed it meant it would become harder to build single family homes.
I definitely support relaxing the restriction on multi family development and letting the market decide what kind of housing is built.

Given the choice, I wouldn't want to live in a single-family home next to a stack box multi-family home. All of a sudden my 6' privacy fence needs to be 30' tall and the street is littered with fights over tight on-street parking. No thanks.
