Zoning reform argument map

This argument map sets out a land-use case for small apartments near transit. The central proposal is linked to a claim about housing supply and rent pressure, and then to evidence that could test that claim locally. The parking and traffic concern is not hidden; it becomes a separate counterargument with a specific operational response. This structure helps a planning commission distinguish a factual disagreement from a value judgment or implementation issue. It is useful for public-hearing preparation, staff reports and workshops where several claims need to be considered without losing the logic that connects them. It gives teams a concrete starting point for reviewing assumptions, data quality and next steps together.
