I would have sympathy for your stance if cities allowed private land owners to add gentle density by building a fourplex on their SFH lot. But not only does restrictive zoning hurt prospective homeowners who would like to live in a townhouse or a low-rise apartment and find that none of those are available. But they also prohibit homeowners from moving into a newly constructed laneway suite so they can sell the main house and retire on their property, or parents from turning their SFH into a triplex so their two adult children can own homes beside grandma and grandpa.
