My city bans: converting single family home into two owner occupied units, as the city gets denser.
My city allows: international developer gutting a single family home into a 7 bed, 7 bath house to rent by the room at egregious rates by a corporate landlord, because it’s still technically single family because there’s only one kitchen.
These zoning laws are actively discouraging urban development that supports the residents.
