There you go then....invest.

Sure, a lot of people do consider it downtown. But the rents just aren't close to what they are in SW.

There you go again . And again I'll point out that a lack of full property rights impairs the ability of people to invest.

And apparently you're okay with that as long as it's the "wrong" people who are prevented from investing.

Zoning laws prevent those with less money from being screwed over. They prevent people from gauging prices of tiny slums (unless you would be OK with it being legal to pay a few hundred dollars per month for a cage, like it is in Hong Kong)

SIGH...zoning that raises the amount and value of a required investment clearly impairs property rights.

If I have X<Y dollars and can afford to buy X property, HowTF can I invest once your neighbors zoned it to require property transactions to include Y>X property?

If you have no property....you have no property rights.

If I wanted to build a development like this on private land, with private funding, I would still get messed with. What if I own the property, but the zoning won't let me engage in consensual transactions of renting these tiny houses because of living space requirements and such?

This is why these homes are often built on wheels, to get around the ridiculous rules that apply if you set it on a foundation.
