> A great example of this is "single family home neighborhoods" in urban areas. They have no societal benefit, they are essentially subsidized land use patterns for the well off, and it makes it harder for less well of folks to move to areas where they can get a better job/improve their lot in life and grow the economy.

I've seen this talking point twice now this week. What's the alternative? We all live in crowded multi-family buildings? We all live in squalor for the sake of a few saved acres in a country with vast amounts of land?
