No, the whole world's housing supply is not based on zoning that only allows single-family detached houses on large-ish lots.[/quote]
[b]Wtf is diverse housing?

It sure as heck does not mean way below market cost in any big city. That uneconomical and unsustainable.

So you’re going to go do some tear downs in NYC, LOndon, Paris, Tokyo, Frankfurt, Tel Aviv, San Paulo, Mexico City and slap up some council housing for the poors and illegal immigrants?  Good luck with that. Wonder what will happen.... probably the same thing that always happens to the projects.

Btw, thanx to the PPP who succinctly described the global property value function. Unclear if Econ is required in uber progressive county school systems. [/quote]

Different housing types. Detached houses, duplexes, rowhouses, triple deckers, small multi-family buildings, larger multi-family buildings, rental housing, owner-occupied housing... That's pretty basic.

But in most of Bethesda, only detached houses are allowed, because of zoning.

I don't understand what you're talking about with "tear downs in NYC, London, Paris, Tokyo..." These are enormous cities with millions and millions of inhabitants - and diverse housing, too.[/quote]

Downtown Bethesda has lots of apartment buildings.  Some older ones, and lots that have gone up in the last 10 years.  There are also a lot of newer townhome developments further north near the beltway and 270.  But being townhomes and apartments does not make them affordable for low-income people.  [/quote]

Yes, downtown Bethesda has lots of apartment buildings. The rest of Bethesda, on the other hand...

Also, nobody ever said, "The only reason why there should be housing that isn't single-family detached houses in yards is affordability for low-income people." There are lots of reasons.[/quote]
