As a matter of economic rationality, local governments should deregulate their housing markets to allow an increased housing supply to meet a rising demand for housing. As a political matter, however, incumbent residents who already own housing vociferously and effectively protest against the reduction of zoning restrictions."<br/> &nbsp; &nbsp; "How, then, to free up urban land markets from the stranglehold of zoning driven by NIMBY (not-in-my-back-yard) neighbors? We argue, paradoxically, that the solution to excessive zoning is centralized, comprehensive, and binding land-use planning."<br/> &nbsp; &nbsp; "We argue in Part III.A that binding, comprehensive plans allow legislators to create “contracts” across electoral districts that are otherwise impossible when zoning proceeds through piecemeal lot-by-lot bargaining." [[Comprehensive_plan|Comprehensive plan]].&nbsp;<br/> &nbsp; &nbsp; "We argue in Part III.B that parcel-by-parcel bargaining imposes high information costs on outside investors, thereby reducing the market for investment in new housing to a handful of local insiders with incentives to constrain supply."<br/> &nbsp; &nbsp;"Prescriptions below in Part IV, including the idea that mayors and city planning departments ought to regularly redraw the citywide zoning map to comprehend all pending development proposals, a process that would look something like an annual budgeting process. [see [[Zoning_budget|Zoning budget]] -Yimbywiki].&nbsp;Other proposals include fixed prices, defined ex ante in the zoning ordinance, for additional building rights [see [[Transfer_of_development_rights|Transfer of development rights]] -Yimbywiki]&nbsp;and prohibitions on any downzoning until citywide housing goals, defined with hard figures like vacancy rates or building permits issued, are met."&nbsp;&nbsp;''<br/> &nbsp;
