I mean, yes, when the incentives are the literal opposite of this policy, the the outcomes will be the literal opposite of what we want.

It takes an awful lot of incentives to knock down a "usable" structure. I'd love to build higher-density right here, right on my lot, but unless I squeeze something in on the same lot, I'm out $150k just to start. $150k covers quite a bit of gas to the lot 2 miles away that's empty.
