Property taxes can also be used in this manner, you don't need national legislation to use your city/town council. You have a lot of power at a local level to solve your local problems, its hard to get peopel organized for it. You tax undesirable housing to subsidize housing your desire. I know my problems here in Maine are different than those in California as far as real estate.
A national plan and blueprint would be nice, but i still think this is a problem with local governments that can't be solved as each location has its own needs and problems.
There's no market incentive for building small homes or efficent towns. Think about how much money we spent to get people to use EV's same needs to happen for housing, you need incentives for buyers and producers to take the great leap.
