  • "The Cottage Company, which builds compact neighbourhoods in the suburbs of Seattle, is another great example of what might be called zonesmithing. The builders have convinced a handful of suburban governments to adopt the 'Cottage Code'. This flexible zoning allows small (eg, 1,200 to 1,500 square feet), well-built homes to be arranged around a commons at densities twice as high as normal."
