    A problem is zoning laws. When they don’t let people build in places people want to live, what can you do?

      In most countries, people elect the local officials who make zoning decisions. It’s not a fundamental barrier.

        Yes. They got rid of single-home zoning in the big city nearest to me, recently. Check back in 10 years to find out how that went.

      Which are actually mentioned in here! Obviously it’s not a barrier everywhere, though. They don’t really do it in the same way in Europe.
