Yeah the new push is to drive our population to 100M in 80 years from about 37M now. It costs $2300/mo in our biggest cities for a single bedroom apartment on average.
The result, however, is tragic. People just live in "illegal" housing situations like stuffing 4 or 5 people into a 1 bedroom or 2 bedroom apartment, where people just create temporary walls to zone off part of the living room or use an extra large closet for extra "bedrooms".
Thus the city loses out on tax revenue AND preventing population increase in certain areas, which is the whole point of these restrictive zoning laws.
