No bernie wants the same kind of government control over the building process, where some moron on a council can block construction because it's """exclusionary""". We don't need more of this garbage.

I don't think you actually understand the terminology being used here, no offense. Exclusionary zoning refers to restrictions on density, dwelling limitations, and minimum lot sizes. An individual development can't be exclusionary, only the zoning code that enables it.

It is true that he isn't saying we can just overturn local decision-making, but what you just said isn't even coherent.

please elaborate again on what you would do to change zoning from the federal government's perspective. You never elaborated on your first proposal, which confused me, because it basically was to get rid of zoning entirely. It seems more like your argument isn't against zoning per se, but just the ability of localities to plan development at all. I also dislike that but it is a separate issue
