A lot of planning and zoning offices across the US apparently think it's still 1995, and that snout houses and mcmansions are or should be the norm to build.

That is a very outdated and short-sighted philosophy.

They're trying to preserve an aesthetic that was frankly ugly to start with, and not what people or the communities actually need.

It's time to create realistic norms & affordable housing.
