Joe Biden Has a Dream to Eliminate Suburbs – It Soon Could Come True

The Biden administration is adamant about ending what it calls “exclusionary zoning” — and planned to do it with his infrastructure-centric American Jobs Plan, the second bill in the legislative trilogy of massive spending outlays the Democrats plan to pass through the Senate through the budgetary reconciliation process.

“For decades, exclusionary zoning laws — like minimum lot sizes, mandatory parking requirements, and prohibitions on multifamily housing – have inflated housing and construction costs and locked families out of areas with more opportunities,” read a May 26 White House fact sheet on the American Jobs Plan.

However, it noted that most “municipal governments have refused to eliminate zoning restrictions for decades, in large part because many taxpayers and developers don’t want it.”

There’s a reason: If you like being able to zone for low-density housing, which is generally why one moves to the suburbs in the first place, this is pretty unpopular stuff.
