I would posit that the HOA structure of new housing effectively undermines any sensical structuring involved in incorporating a new neighborhood of anything into a larger city space.
That’s a good point. I’m lucky enough that I don’t live within an HOA, but I’m sure many of my neighbors would raise a stink if someone tried to build a duplex on one of the lots.
The bigger issue around me is actually real estate investors buying the houses to use as rentals. It means people don’t stay at the house long term, and it can change the dynamics of the neighborhood. I don’t have a solution to this specific problem, but I’d love something that skewed outcomes to be more financially beneficial to people buying a house to live in.
