Local zoning is the way! A lot of these are being stopped or stalled by neighborhood organizing.

These warehouses often need to be purchased, permitted, approved for occupancy and specs. Each one of those steps can be interrupted.

Ppl are pressuring corps not to sell, counties to deny permits, etc

Interesting article and debate over housing policy. In Vermont, in recent years, Legislature has taken various steps to promote more housing including adding restrictions to local zoning powers. Possibly just the first steps in reigning in zoning that limits housing density. #vtpoli #localzoning
