Nobody is forcing you too

@@nishiljaiswal2216And hopefully never will, but many people are going to be forced by circumstances that were created by policies like this and other “bad” policies.
If people freely chose to live like this because this is what they actually desire, then fine for them. But, I view this more as an attack on our standard of living than simply creating more options. I pray that I’m wrong.
Until I’m proven wrong, people may do well to be a bit skeptical about this - particularly attacks on residential zoning.
