Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Truly affordable cohousing

[Brian Bartholomew (bb]

In affordability terms, zoning and building codes behave like the
minimum wage.  The law says the minimum job or house must have
so-and-so list of features.  And then, poof!  Anything less fancy
vanishes, because it's now illegal.

If legislated minimums make people prosperous, then simply raise the
minimum wage to $100/hour and the minimum house size to 6,000 sf.
