The Wall Street Journal recently reported, “Austin offices are 59%-occupied—and cracked the 60% threshold last month—according to data from Kastle Systems, an office-security firm that records workers’ comings and goings by measuring badge swipes into skyscrapers and corporate campuses.

What score am I aiming for?

I would aim to at least have your existing ones grandfathered in, or establish a limit on number of permits allowed per square mile (like in Colorado Springs), or a room in an owner-occupied house (like in Denver), etc… Achieving anything other than a complete ban is probably about the best you can hope for, unfortunately.

We measure inventory in months it would take to sell.

Coverage would not extend to taking preventative measures to alleviate the circumstances that caused the problem."

Likewise, a typical homeowner moving from a city setting to suburban with only a 20 minute walk through of the property could easily miss the actual lot size since virtually no one does physical measurements on a walkthrough.
