Really? I think most cities...even here where I live,,have ordinances against 16-18 people living in one house

I was making a hypothetical argument about what would happen under an absolute private property rights dispensation. Get rid of exclusionary zoning, including occupancy rules, and poor families could double and triple up in four bedroom split levels out in cul-de-sac land. And some would. Some of this already happens illegally, of course, but it is discouraged.

If you don't want that to happen, what would you do to allow poor families access to better school districts and greater proximity to job centers? Not all the poor will want to move -- but a lot of them are desperate to get out. A lot of misdirected policy over the past half-century has conspired to keep them fixed in place.
