"The logic of the conversation is simply incoherent. We can't use underutilized land, and the small homes can't be expensive but also can't be affordable. A Venn diagram with no overlap."
"Across the country, housing policy is paralyzed by a set of completely incompatible goals: New housing can't be built near anyone, but it also can't be far from work."

Recent testimonies before state housing subcommittees revealed incoherent objections to proposed reforms, such as legalizing small lots and lot splits.

This reflects a broader paralysis in housing policy driven by conflicting goals, preventing meaningful progress in addressing the housing shortage.
