[quote=Anonymous]Yes, zoning laws make a difference. Allowing developers to build up would allow them to fit more living units in the same footprint - so of course they can be less expensive. Allowing basement apartments or allowing families to build an accessory dwelling unit (aka small apartment) in their backyard would allow them to offset the high cost of their house, making it more affordable. But the people who think that they have a god-given right to prevent any change whatsoever in their community would have a fit about any zoning change that allows these things to happen.[/quote]
