That depends. How much is the population offering me to advocate in favor of them, and how much are the construction companies offering?

what if it's the population who wants you to use the zoning laws and HOAs to restrict the supply so the value of their investment in their home doubles every 10-15 years?

and the developers have nothing to do with it. because waht they do is just build luxury housing now becaues it has a higher margin than non-luxury units, and you can only build a handful of homes each year in this town thanks to the zoning laws.
