** 2020 Around the corner and with it the election day for the next free world leader **
** We may have stayed with the same guy but that's not why we gathered here, what interests us in the whole story is the promises that a number of Democratic candidates (Cory Booker, Andrew Yang & Elizabeth Warren) talk about that concern us, the promise to change the zoning laws. **
** Why do zoning laws exist? **
** Local municipalities determine the different types of houses / buildings, and what use will be built in specific areas, the idea behind it is that similar structures will be close to each other. A city that is well planned will be the one that will offer the houses near the schools, commercial centers and far from industrial areas, etc. **
** Why change the laws of zoning? **
** Today, according to many, the laws of zoning have gone a bit too far. **
** Some neighborhoods are planned as a single family only when other neighborhoods are planned to contain high-rise buildings, creating a tangible separation between residential areas and weaker strata and stronger strata in the population. This is the result of cities that raise and force the landowners to build houses on them rather than buildings and then there is a problem of imbalance between the supply and demand for apartments in the market and this causes an increase in housing prices in these areas for all. **
** What changes in zoning laws will make prices more accessible? **
** Facilitating the laws of zoning according to Cory Boker and Andrew Young will cause more people to build several units on the same land, for example a person can buy a private house, divide it in half in one way or another, live on one side and the other side to rent and bring out another available apartment to the market. *
** On the other hand, what Elizabeth Warren offers is simply less zoning for singles houses. **
** Which will create more areas with high-rise houses and reduce the cost of buying an apartment. **
** Of course the American dream is not created in an apartment but in Single House with a white fence and the price of these will rise in any situation that will not happen if these candidates are selected. **
** There are pluses and bonuses for every scenario that happens, young people without family and income will benefit from more densely populated areas throughout the country and these will cause more businesses, restaurants and the like to open and export more jobs (Jobs, Jobs, Jobs) **
** Meeting on voter day **
