Sidebar. I don’t think it makes (most) people who say this monsters, we can all get tripped up by how fear and groupthink make us sound sometimes, but it really is gross and harmful and unacceptable that it is so acceptable to so many to just openly say renters basically aren’t people

That is exactly why I will own leaving existing neighborhoods zoned as single family alone. Have at it with undeveloped land where the buyer can decide if this community/development is where | want to live. However, I do understand that given the current circumstances in which we live, government seems able to do whatever it pleases. For now, I'll give my best effort to hold onto existing single family zoning where it currently exists.
