It's my opinion that anyone who thought about upzoning logically for two minutes would come to the conclusion that it is necessary to substantially increase housing supply without also needing to substantially increase infrastructure. I'm glad to see the results are starting to be noticed.

That sounds like making decisions based on the good of all, instead of me in particular. Sounds like a slippery slope.

Yeah increasing single family to 1-4 family isn't going to affect the neighborhood fabric that much, especially if you consider that it's literally just not banning slightly higher density structures
